DCOM: Settings please...

[Anon]

Hi,

When using DCOM I get the message "Unable to obtain IDispatch interface for CLSID ...."

Why ?

If I run using COM it work's fine, but as soon as I use DCOM I get the error. I'm starting MS-Word, which is installed on the remote PC and the same PHP4 (v4.0.4) code works fine on the remote PC (using COM not DCOM).

When I use phpinfo() I get the following:
Directive Local Value Master Value
allow_dcom
On On
typelib_file
no value no value

Do I need to set the typelib file ? If so, how ? I've tried the obvious, i.e. typelib_file = something.txt and no change, and phpinfo() still returns no value.

Any help much appreciated, thanks !

I think your problem is you need to enable dcom on the remote machine and I'm not sure word supports dcom.

Please let me know if you've had any luck, because I've got the same problems.
