PRB: COM+ WSC Component Cannot Raise Error After SetAbort (285147)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft COM+ 1.0, when used with:
    • the operating system: Microsoft Windows 2000 SP1
    • the operating system: Microsoft Windows 2000 SP2
This article was previously published under Q285147

SYMPTOMS

When a Windows Script Components (WSC) component is configured under COM+, COM+ controls the script component. When the script aborts a transaction and then throws an error, an access violation occurs.

This problem only occurs when JScript is the scripting language and the transaction attribute is set to Required.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the error object that is associated or caught in the WSC exception is actually a reference to the script object itself. This design does not comply with COM+ policy, which does not allow access to a configured component once the transaction that is associated with the component has aborted.

RESOLUTION

At this time, there is no resolution for this problem. A fix will be available in a later version of Windows.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
