Hello.
I aplogize if this post is off-topic... if so, please advise to which group(s) I should post my question.

I have exported a COM+ application as an application proxy. However, the remote server name automatically recorded in the proxy is the name of my computer (from which the
proxy was created).

During the export process, I wasn't prompted for the remote server name.
When I run the .msi file, it doesn't prompt me for the remote server name.

Is there some way to specify the name when I install the proxy ??
Either at the command line... eg "msiexec /i /some_switch remote_name proxy.msi" ?
Or, directly modifying the registry ?

I am creating a setup program that should automatically set the remote server name for the user, so that they don't have to do it manually via Component Services.

Thank you kindly.
Respectfully,
CKD

Hi,
I had the same problem.What I did was to export all files as "SERVER" to the server machine and then from the server machine I created .MSI file as a proxy.This will install the RemoteServerName correctly.

Hi,

You may set remote server name by right-click on My Computer in Component Services MMC snap-in and select Properties item... before export a COM+ application.
