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...
