MORE INFORMATION
================
You can determine which version of Dcom95 or Dcom98 is installed on a Windows
95, Windows 98, or Windows Me computer by checking the registry. If DCOM is
installed on the system, the default value of the registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{bdc67890-4fc0-11d0-a805-00aa006d2ea4}\InstalledVersion
will contain the version of DCOM installed on the system. The version number in
the registry is stored in the format "a,b,c,d" and these correspond to:
- - a - major operating system version
- - b - minor operating system version
- - c - minor file version
- - d - major file version
To determine the version of Dcom95 or Dcom98 based on these values, use the
