How to fix Delphi 7 "RCP Server is Unavailable" error?
Hi Experts,
I've written a Client program to test the methods of a automation server. Both programs are written in Delphi 7. I'm on a WinXP Pro, SP3 box.
When I click the "Launch Srever" button, I get the following error: "Client1.exe raised exception class EOleSysError with message 'The RPC server is unavailable'."
The Windows RPC service is running. What have I missed?
The code for the Client (calling) program and import library (TLB) for the automation server is in the Code section below. Line 76 is the Create method in client1 program.
Thanks much.

Now the error is: "Client1.exe raised exception class EIntfCast Error with message 'Interface not supported.'" Could it be that I am using the CoImageDisplayInterface (line 221)in the class section of the TBL file?
