Hi guys.
A bit of a long shot, I know, but I'm trying to install a bespoke IT software system that uses some COM+ components. Essentially, I export a set of COM+ components as Application Proxies to allow remote clients to connect to a database via COM+.
However, whenever I try and install the exported application, I always get an error 1928 and the MSI fails to install. I've done a search on the net and MSKB where there are a few articles such as http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308940. But I don't think it's related to that.
The system I'm working on is being installed from scratch and I've created a new domain, joined all the boxes to it. I've tried everything I can think of including trying to install with a domain admin account but still no luck so I don't think it's a permissions problem.
Also interesting is that the exported components work fine on another set of PCs located on another domain! I also tried using another set of exported COM+ components - those which were used on that other domain and tried to install them on my current system, but same error message.
I've done some fairly drastic things such as wipe a dozen servers, fresh install of WS2003, freshly created new domain, etc, but no joy.
Any ideas?
