Installation requirements to read messages from a public queue

What are the installation requirements on a client machine running xp
in order for an application to communicate and read messages from a
public queue on a server within it's domain? Is it necessary to
install MSMQ on the client in order for this to occur or are there
specific libraries that the application needs, either already
distributed or to include in it's packaging?

Any help or pointers to appropriate documents or forums would be
greatly appreciated.

HI EAIFreak,

MSMQ is a queue-manager-to-queue-manager system.
Your application just talks to the local queue manager.
The queue manager does the pushing and pulling of messages.
So you must have the core MSMQ component installed on both ends of the
communication.

To access a public queue using a pathname, you will need to add the Active
Directory Integration option.
To access a public queue using a DIRECT formatname, you don't.
Other functionality, such as encryption and authentication, requires Active
Directory Integration.

The libraries that your application requires (such as system.messaging) will
be deployed on any machine with MSMQ installed.

MSDN is the best place to start for this sort of information.

Cheers

Thank you very much for the quick reply. This explains an issue we
were having at a client since it seems we were attempting to use
public queues with the AD syntax and the client did not have the core
installed, so troubleshooting got confusing since there were two
issues.

Thanks again.
