[. . . ] The MTS/COM+ page is intended for software developers who know the computer names of the servers that contain MTS or COM+ server applications. Both MTS (Microsoft Transaction Server) and COM+ are steps in the evolution of the Component Object Model (COM) technology. MTS, which was developed first, is a transaction processing system for developing, deploying, and managing server applications. COM+, the next generation of COM technology, is shipped with and requires the Microsoft Windows operating system. It provides a standard that lets any two components communicate with each other regardless of what computer each is running on, the operating systems that are running, and the language in which the components are written. All computers can communicate through COM if they have support for DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) installed. MTS or COM+ packages generally consist of server software and client software. When you add an MTS or COM+ package to an installation, you must designate it as either a server installation or a client installation. You cannot add both the server and client installation for a given MTS or COM+ application to the same feature. If you need to install both the server and client of the same application, either create two . MSI files, or put the server installation in one feature, and the client installation in another feature. If the MTS or COM+ application contains roles, those roles are not installed on destination computers. See also: Adding an MTS or COM+ Application on page 263 Adding an MTS or COM+ Application To add an MTS or COM+ application 1. Make sure that you have either MTS or COM+ on your computer, and that the MTS or COM+ server application is installed and configured on your computer exactly as it should be configured on the destination computer. Note (Optional) You can add the files that make up the MTS/COM+ application on the Files page. Otherwise, the files are placed in the Program Files\{GUID}\ directory. If you add the files yourself, you must mark the Use Existing Source Paths check box later in this procedure. Select Installation Expert > MTS/COM+ page.
