error 80004005 initialising COM+ component

[Fenton Farthing]

We are trying to run a test data access component in app center2000. We can
run the component locally, however, when we run via app center we get the
80004005 error with the handy 'Unspecified Error' description. This occurs
on the form_load, when it is calling createobject.

Our set up is Win32 client -> Win2k SP3 Routing Cluster -> Win2k SP3 CLB
cluster (2 boxes). The client and component are written in VB6 sp5. The ado
is version 2.6 across all boxes. We have other components that work fine
with this setup, the only difference is this has a reference to ADO (though
it doesn't get to the stage of calling any ado props/methods). Permissions
are the same across all boxes, and the component is set to runs as a domain
admin (just to be sure!).

Any help would be appreciated as we are well and truly stuck (though no
doubt missing something obvious!).

Thanks

Hi Fenton,

Some things to check (although you have already probably done these):

1) Check to make sure that your components are *not* marked for load
balancing on the client
2) Check to make sure that your components *are* marked for load balancing
on the routing cluster
3) Stop and restart component services on all machines.

It is possible to get the 0x80004005 error if you change some of these
settings without restarting the services.

Let me know how you get on,

Rich.
