Summary

This error message occurs when an exception error has occurred with a COM+ application listed in the Component Services view

Symptoms

When building a project in InstallShield, the following error may occur:

"Error -7062: An error occurred while refreshing the COM+ settings from the client machine."

Cause

This error message occurs when an exception error has occurred with a COM+ application listed in the Component Services view. An option is provided to refresh the COM+ settings during the build process, and this error occurs when this option is selected, and the refreshing process has failed.

Resolution

To resolve this type of error, follow these steps:

1. Select the Component Services view.,
2. Highlight the first COM+ application listed that is checked in the center panel.
3. Note the "Refresh the COM+ settings from the client machine at build" check box in the "MSI Integration" tab.
4. Deselect this option for all COM+ applications that are included.
5. Rebuild the project.

This should resolve this build error, as this error only occurs when the COM+ settings are refreshed during the build process. The COM+ applications included in the project will now use the settings that were specified when it was initially included in the project.

If you need to use the refreshing option, it is necessary to narrow down why an exception error occurred in this COM+ application. It may be helpful to verify all the COM+ settings are accurate and ensure it works as expected on the build machine. It may also be helpful to use a different COM+ application to determine if the failure is specific to the COM+ application.

Additional Information

Further information on including COM+ applications in your setup can be found in the InstallShield Help Library topic Component Services View.
