Q289821 FIX: COM+ Application Proxy Does Not Register CLSID After You
Install COM+ Rollup Hotfix 5

Now, we did not apply a hotfix. We simply installed SP2, but it was
definately not registering the components on Win98 clients after running the
.MSI file. We went into the registry and the components simply were not
registered. When we uninstalled the SP2, it worked fine.

I have no other explanation for it.

Just to be clear, in Windows 2000 running SP2, the COM+ Explorer and the
Admin SDK both generate proxy applications that register components
correctly on clients. We test this scenario. I just did it on a W2K/SP2
machine, to verify that it works.

So the situation described below is not something that we've seen any
evidence of. I'd be interested in more details....

This is very interesting. I installed SP2 on our office machines, and
immediately our ISAServer stopped functioning. On our Exchange Server,
the STORE.EXE immediately starting consuming 100% cpu. There has been
lots of chatter on microsoft.public.exchange2000.admin and the general
consensus was that SP2 had to be removed to solve the the Exchange
Server problem.

This is the first I have heard about a COM related problem, but after my
recent experience, I'm not surprised.
