How Do I Configure a COM Client Locally Accessing Magic xpa as a COM Server? (Magic xpa 2.x)
COM Objects can be created to run on the local machine, or they can be configured to be accessed remotely.
-
When you are creating a COM object, you will be prompted for the Object Type. If the COM Object is designed to be run on the local machine, you must select the Local Engine as the Object Type.
-
Also, the DLL has to be registered on the machine it is running. You can do that using RegSvr32. If you are installing on multiple machines, you will want to automate that process using a batch file or script or installation utility.
-
The Magic xpa runtime engine must be available also. You can specify the location of the engine when you create your COM object, but otherwise the system will look in the registry and use the Magic xpa engine registered there.
