SYMPTOMS
Scriptlet components, just like binary COM+ components, can be hosted in COM+ applications. These scriptlet components will not be properly replicated to target computers when you use the deployment functionality in Application Center 2000. Application Center will replicate the applications themselves and the corresponding COM+ applications will also be replicated to the target computers. Any requests to create instances of the scriptlet COM+ components on any of the target computers will fail.



CAUSE
COM+ does not currently support the export of scriptlet component applications. Because Application Center uses the COM+ export functionality for replication, replication of scriptlet components does not work.



RESOLUTION
In order to support these components, you can do one of the following:
 * Implement binary COM+ components to replace the functionality of the scriptlet components. You can do this by using tools such as Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft Visual C++.
 * Replicate the scriptlet components as file resources in your Application Center applications, and then have another procedure that properly registers these scriptlet components.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
