Third Party application does work as a COM+ application
A few months ago, I reported a problem that a customer was having with a particular 3rd party product that seemed not to work with Visual FoxPro. It was a COM object that could be instantiated via CreateObject.
I was quite surprised that Windows guru Raymond Chen (author of the great blog: The Old New Thing) posted a comment within a few hours that pinpointed the problem in the code.
I mentioned that a workaround might be to put the product into a COM+ application, and that I couldn’t test it.
I just received email confirmation from another customer who had the same problem. They put the product into a COM+ application, and it indeed worked as expected with VFP.
I know how it feels when a fairly complex scenario doesn’t work as expected, but I am able to find a simple solution and workaround.
