Unregistring a DCOM Server

[Nikki]

Hi,
I have few DCOM Servers (exes) written in VB. In order to register them, I
run it from the command prompt. It creates the required registry and I could
use the DCOMCnfg to set the security, access and launch permissions and also
could use it in the applications I write.

But now I need a way to unregister them. After going through the MSDN, I got
to know the way to unregister the servers using <servername> /UNREGSERVER
from the command prompt. It works. But it does not remove the registry
settings and I could still see my server with DCOMCnfg. How do I completely
unregister the server?

Thanks in advance.
Nikki

Looks like your ActiveX exe is running on your machine
If it is on NT, see the task manager your exe still running
if it is on 98/95, click CTRL+ALT+DEL to see the running apps

Stop your exe
Then apply <servername>/unregserver at coomand prompt

I have verified this. The ActiveX exe is not currently running and I try to
unregister the server, t doesn't complain. If I go to the DCOMCnfg and look
into the properties, the Application path says "Remote Computer" and it does
not display any path, which makes me believe that the DCOM server is
unregistered and also I am not able to use this server which is quite
understandable. But my question is, after unregistering the server, why
would it appear among the listing in the DComCnfg and also if I check the
regedit, I can still see the components. Is there a way to unregister the
server, also removing the registry data.
