Hi all,

I sent a similar question earlier to this archive and got few responses but
still I have the same problem. May be it depends on that I did not succeed
to explain my problem clearly.
I try once again and hope some guru can help me to solve my problem.

What I want is to create a service to run remotely which uses my own
service.idl file.
First I want to test it locally and it doesn't work.
What I do is the following.

1. I create just an ATL wizard projekt (with name ATLService) choosing
"service" as type of application.
2. Create an ATL object say Foo(Insert->New ATL Object)
3. Remove Foo.cpp/.h from the projekt.
4. Add my own service.idl file to projekt.
5. Remove all occurences of CLSID_Foo and IID_Foo
6. Edit projekt created file ATLService.cpp
BEGIN_OBJECT_MAP(ObjectMap)
OBJECT_ENTRY(CLSID_Foo, CFoo)
END_OBJECT_MAP()

to
BEGIN_OBJECT_MAP(ObjectMap)
OBJECT_ENTRY(CLSID_Control, CControl)
END_OBJECT_MAP()
where CLSID_Control DCOM class instance a client can create (defined i
service.idl)

7. Add my own service.idl file.
8. Compile

9. add dlldata.c, service_i.c,h/p_.c and again compile and link.

10. Edit ATLService.rc file as below
IDR_ATLCCSService1 REGISTRY MOVEABLE PURE "ATLService.rgs"
IDR_CONTROLCOMPUTERSERVICE REGISTRY DISCARDABLE
"ATLService.rgs"

        1 TYPELIB "Debug\Service.tlb"

I get an ATLService.exe.

11. I run this exe file via VC++ debugger.

12. I run my test application and the following call succeed i.e. I get "hr
== 0"

hr =
         CoCreateInstance(CLSID_Control,
         NULL,
         //CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER,
         CLSCTX_ALL,
         IID_IUnknown,
         (VOID FAR **) &pUnk);

and all works fine (when running DCOM locally).

Now I want to run this ATLService.exe remotely and as service.
First I tried to run ATLService.exe remotely as an exe and not service.
After registering ATLService.exe (/RegServer) and *.dll on server and client
machine.
I run the client application I get

hr = 80040154 (class not registered error)

Now I tried to run as service locally.

I did the following

ATLService.exe /Service
 and I can see my ATLService.exe is there in Services window (adminstrative
tools->Services)

a. Now I click start on ATLService Service.
b. I start my client application and I get
hr = 80040154 (class not registered error) i.e. the same error which I got
when I tried to run ATLService.exe remotely and which I could run
successfully locally.

Sure, I am missing something for registration between step 1-10.

Plz help me to solve my problem. Now I have been working on this problem a
couple of days without much success.

Ask, if something is not clear.
I am using winXP.

thanks

regard
