This article was previously published under Q180681



SYMPTOMS
When you try to create an instance of a COMTI component that is not assigned to a Remote Environment (RE), the runtime error

HRESULT 8000ffff (E_UNEXPECTED)

is raised to the client application. COMTI writes a more descriptive error in the event log:

The COM Transaction Integrator component is not currently assigned to a Remote Environment.

The Prog ID and Class ID of the unassigned component are also included in the event log.



CAUSE
The error occurs because the COMTI component is not assigned to an RE.



WORKAROUND
To work around the problem, assign components to the appropriate (CICS LINK, CICS, IMS, and so forth) Remote Environment.



STATUS

A supported fix is now available for SNA Server 4.0, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix.
