SUMMARY
This article describes how to install a COM+ component whose dynamic-link library (DLL) should not be in the export directory when the application is exported.

An example of when you might use this technique is when the DLL is a system DLL, which should not be uninstalled when the application is uninstalled (for example, a Windows Scripting Component).



MORE INFORMATION
Follow these steps to install a COM+ component whose dynamic-link library (DLL) should not be in the export directory when the application is exported:  Register the component. Generate the Type Library for the component. Create the COM+ application in the COM+ Explorer. Drag and drop the generated Type Library in step 2 to the COM+ application in the COM+ Explorer.  In the registry, insert implemented categories under CLSID\{GUID} as follows: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{}\Implemented Categories\{87D49532-B7b6-11d0-8d1e-00c04fc2e0c7}] @=""                   </ol>
