Hi all! We're finally distributing our program across the company, but in order to help the (relatively) clueless administrators install the correct files I'd like to let them skip installing DCOM95/DCOM98 on Win95/98 PCs if possible.

So what files do I tell them to look for to check if DCOM has already been installed on the PC? I'd LOVE to assume if the PC is on a network & functioning it MUST have DCOM-but that's too risky!

Would it be OK to just have them ALWAYS install DCOM on the PC before installing the program's setup files(which include MDAC2.5 btw)? That's always a default possibility, I guess. I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!
