[RESOLVED] Unable to add a component to Com+

Hello, first let me apologize if this is posted in the incorrect forum, but I didn't see anything I thought it would fit into better.

I'm having issues with a windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x64 server. Prior to installing numerous patches and such I installed some Components via Com+ to an empty application. Now however I needed to change one of the components so I recompiled it, stopped the application, deleted the old registration, copied the new component, and tried to re-register it just like I've always done.

It let me go all the way through the registration wizard, and it seems to have completed successfully, but I don't see it listed with the rest of my components. I've refreshed the screen, stopped and started com+, IIS and even rebooted the server, but it still doesn't display either in Components or legacy components.

Anyone have any idea how I could possibly manage this component/ and or register it properly because I need to add an activation string so that I can export this application for deployment on my desktops?

Thanks in advance.

I'm still not 100% sure why it's happening, however it seems that when the component was removed from the application it wasn't totally removed from the registry. I manually went through the registry searching for that component name and dll file and removed all references to it. After that I was able to add the DLL again like I should have been able to from the beginning.

Hope this helps anyone else who may run into something similar int he future.

Cheers
