DOC: SendTime Sample Needs DCOM to Work

ID: Q159575

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 4.2

SUMMARY

The SendTime sample that is shipped with the Enterprise Edition of Visual C++ version 4.2 needs DCOM to work. Windows NT version 4.0 supports DCOM by default, but Windows 95 does not. You can acquire the Windows 95 DCOM components off of the Visual C++ 5.0 CD or by going to the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION

The DCOM requirement is specified under the topic "Learning About the SENDTIME Distributed Application" in Books Online. You need an operating system with DCOM to execute this sample.

When you use the Visual C++ Enterprise Edition, the sample builds on Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51. When you execute the sample, you get an error message stating that the entry point, CoCreateInstanceEx, is either missing or cannot be found in Ole32.dll.
