interdev_programming thread: Problem with RAD Remote Deployment in Interdev


Message #1 by "Jim McSorley" <jim@m...> on Tue, 1 May 2001 20:29:13
I've installed the RAD Remote Deployment support component of IIS from 
Option Pack 4 on NT 4.0, Service pack 6a.

I'm admin on the client and the server, and I've established unique 
permissions for the web application (within InterDev) so that I have 
rights to Admin, Author and Browse.

Everything else is working... sourceSafe check-in/out... 4 developers all 
working concurrently... pretty sweet actually.

I created a VB component on my client (works locally), added the .dll to 
the Interdev project, and set the component Installation options 
to "register on server".

When I "add to master web" on the .dll, the server replies with an error 
that I can't find any references to, other than Front Page extension 
references.  I don't think the problem is actually related to FP 
extentions since everything else is working fine.
 
Error message: "Cannot register server component 'myComp.dll' on the 
master Web server.  An HTTP error occurred.  The server could not complete 
your request.  Contact your ISP or Web server admin to make sure that the 
server has the Front Page Extensions intsalled, and that the web 
application exists on that server."

Obviously the recommendations within this error message have no value 
since I am the server admin, and front page is clearly working (source 
control, etc).

I'm also having difficulty unregistering the .dll on my local machine so 
that I can reregister with a new version.  Regsvr32 claims that it 
unregisters when I run the command, but I think the code is hung open.  

1) Is there a better tool for killing in-process objects?  

What is wrong with the Remote Deployment Support?... Do I need to set up 
the IIS server in "deployment mode" or something?
 
Any advise is welcome...
