The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft COM+ 1.0
This article was previously published under Q276399

SYMPTOMS

When a Component Object Model (COM) component is installed in COM+ as a library application and includes the following features:
  • Two interfaces (IXXX and IYYY) that are defined in one type library file named YYY.tlb.
  • A third interface (IZZZ) that is defined in a second type library file.
  • IZZZ is derived from IYYY, and the IDL file for the IZZZ interface contains the following code:
    importlib("<I>YYY</I>.tlb");
you may receive an Access Violation when the client application uses the IZZZ interface.

CAUSE

The COM+ interceptor code uses the wrong typeinfo when it references the interface.
