This article was previously published under Q255829 SYMPTOMS
When distributing a Visual Basic application from a Windows 2000 system that references the COM+ Services Type Library, the Package and Deployment Wizard
(PDW) includes the Comsvcs.dll file in the distribution package.
CAUSE
The Visual Basic 6.0 Package and Deployment Wizard and the Visual Basic 5.0 Application Setup Wizard normally include all files that are referenced by the
project being packaged and do not include any special handling code for the Comsvcs.dll file.
RESOLUTION
When you are creating the Visual Basic application package for distribution, deselect the Comsvcs.dll file from the files list when you are stepping into the
Included Files dialog box of the Package portion of the Package and Deployment Wizard.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
The Comsvcs.dll file is a non-redistributable system file that already exists on target Windows 2000 systems.
REFERENCES
For a list of files that can be distributed with your applications, please check the Redist.txt file shipped with Visual Basic and Microsoft Visual Studio.
