You should be able to run

the client code “ClientSampleVB” from the Visual Basic

environment on the server computer successfully.

Setting Up the Remote Client

This process is optional.

A Microsoft COM+ application is usually part of a larger application
(N-tier) or system that affects many areas of a business. You will have to
decide how to distribute components across the servers and what clients will
have access to them. We assume a thorough understanding of the target
environment (user accounts/groups, server names, etc.). For general
concepts and detailed information about administering COM and COM+
applications, refer to the online help of the Component Services application.

You can install a Microsoft COM+ application by using the setup program
provided by the application vendor or the in-house developer, or by
manually installing and configuring the COM+ application using the
Component Services application.

For more information about installing a COM+ application, refer to
Installation Tasks in the online help of the Component Services application.

The following procedures explain how to export the remote COM+
component, move the client project ―ClientSampleVB.vbp‖ into Visual
Basic, then run the client application in the Visual Basic environment.

Creating the Microsoft COM+ Setup Program

This process is optional.

To create a COM+ setup program, complete the following steps:

1. Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Component

Services to start the Component Services Console.
