There is no difference between local and remote machine. Use just the local IP instead of the remote IP when creating the COM object instance. Everything else should work same way as if you call the remote COM object.

thanks @Ace, I have not done that before, hence the request for step-by-step instructions. Could you please elaborate the steps involved in &nbsp;creating the COM object instance?

Hi, I developed a simple COM+ component using VS2010, installed it in &quot;Component services&quot; under my machine. <br />
<br />
Image attached shows the installation. <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2014/04_w17/847113/img1.jpg" target="_blank" title="component installed (70 KB)"><img alt="component installed" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 532px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2014/04_w17/847113/img1.jpg" /></a><br />
I also exported the MSi and the CAB file for this component. <br />
<br />
Now I would like to consume my &quot;AddNums&quot; method of ICalc in a simple C++ client, locally, i.e on the same machine but using the MSI and CAB file as if I am using it from a remote machine. Just don't want to go through the trouble of setting up another machine in my home network right now. <br />
<br />
Please give me step by step instructions to accomplish this. thanks.

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
