SYMPTOMS
When you use Visual Studio Analyzer to analyze your application, you are unable to collect COM+ events.



CAUSE
The COM+ Event Bridge does not have the necessary permissions to subscribe to COM+ events.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, add the Visual Studio Analyzer user to the Administrator group. You can determine the Visual Studio Analyzer user by using Dcomcnfg.exe as follows:
 * 1) Start Dcomcnfg.exe.
 * 2) Select MSVSA Local Event Concentrator Class from the list of applications.
 * 3) Click the Properties button.
 * 4) Select the Identity tab. Note the user, and then close Dcomcnfg.exe

Add the Visual Studio Analyzer user noted in the previous procedure in step 4 to the Administrators group as follows:
 * 1) Open Control Panel.
 * 2) Open Administrative Tools.
 * 3) Open Computer Management.
 * 4) In the tree view, expand System Tools, and then expand Local Users and Groups.
 * 5) Select the Groups folder.
 * 6) Select the Administrators group. From the Action menu, select Add to Group.
 * 7) Click Add..., and then select the Visual Studio Analyzer user noted earlier.
 * 8) Click Add, and then click ok.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The COM+ 1.0 Event Bridge is included in the Windows 2000 Platform SDK. It consists of one file called Vamts.dll that must be manually registered. See the COM+ 1.0 Event Bridge Readme.rtf file in the Platform SDK for additional information.
