    ActiveX App does not show in DCom w/Win2008 64

    I have an older VB6 ActiveX Application (EXE) which works fine in Windows 7 (32-bit) and older versions of Windows. When I try to install it on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit it seems to register without error, however it does not show up in the DCOM listing under component services. If I look in the registry it appears under the classes and has a classid but never appears in the DCOM listing so that I can assign rights. (This app is called from a web page so I have to assign rights for access.) Any ideas on how I can get the application to appear in the DCOM listing?

    Configuring DCOM registration on 64-bit Windows needs to be done using 32-bit system tools.

    Have you tried running the 32-bit DCOMCNFG? Look for dcomcnfg.exe located in SysWOW64, or from a console window set the current directory to SysWOW64 and type:
    Code:
    C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64>mmc comexp.msc /32
