>Sorry but your advices about DCOM server in a service are incorrect. Of
>course the AppID key is neccessary but the problem is more complicated. The
>thing is that the ComServ unit that comes with Delphi CAN NOT be used to
>create DCOM server in a service. To make shure in it take a look on the
>ComServ unit and you will see that the svcmgr unit is not included into
uses
>section of ComServ. Conclusion is : ComServ does know nothing about
services
>so it can't create a com-object in the SERVICE thread. All that it can to
do
>is to create a com-object in the CONTROL thread of service application. It
>is a thread in which Application.Run is called. This thread terminates
after
>starting a service itself and the ComServ shows a warning at this moment.
>You can disable the termination of the control thread but it does not mean
>that your DCOM server works as service.

>Now a few words about the correct solution. At first, las week I've sent

>(replacement of ComServ) and Delphi wizard for creating DCOM servers in a
