Defining the COM+ Data Object
The remote component must already be installed on the COM+ server before you

information, refer to the “Installing the remote component” section in this appendix. If
you are on a client computer, the application proxy must already be installed. For
more information, refer to the “Setting up the remote client” section in this appendix.
