Default RTD DCOM Excel

Hi Mike,

i think the ms-example ist written in vb6. If your rtd-server is compiled in
a activex-exe, installation ist easy. Only install the file (client &
server) with doubleclick, and then configure dcom. That's all.
In case of using an activex-dll, it's more difficult. Installation on server
is different from client. The dll is not able to run alone (like a exe), so
it needs a surrogate-process. On client-side you have to install only the
typelibrary *.tlb

Yes, I'm using .Net. I could use any of the languages there, that's
not an issue.
I figured out how to build the rtd server as a dll, but the ms article
says that if dcom is used, the rtd server has to be an exe. I figured
out the whole process with the dll (I'm sure setting up the dcom is not
that difficult with a dll). I'm just confused as to what needs
registering.
