SUMMARY
If you have Visual Studio Analyzer 6.0 installed and you upgrade your system to Windows 2000, you will no longer be able to collect Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) events from that computer.

COM+ 1.0, which is part of Windows 2000, replaces MTS 2.0. MTS 2.0 supported Visual Studio Analyzer. This is not the case for COM+ 1.0. COM+ 1.0 generates events that are similar to Visual Studio Analyzer events, but they are not compatible with Visual Studio Analyzer. In order to fix this problem, you must install the Visual Studio Analyzer COM+ 1.0 Bridge. The Bridge fixes this problem by subscribing to these events and converting them to Visual Studio Analyzer events.

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