Setting the 'Identity' configuration for a DCOM object

Hello,

One of the things my installer currently does is deploying DCOM objects via merge modules (.msm) provided to me by the editor of these objects (my application depends on these objects).

We're having issues because we need the 'Identity' parameter for these objects to be set to 'Launching User' but it is instead being deployed with the value 'Interactive user'. This is a problem for our use case that relies on windows services and not a windows session.

I do not know how to change that value so that it's deployed correctly with 'Launching User', neither in my advanced installer project nor by editing the msm with advanced installer.

Regards
Catalin

Re: Setting the 'Identity' configuration for a DCOM object

Hello,

I'm afraid I'm not really familiar with this scenario.

For instance, if you open the MSM file in Advanced Installer and go to "COM" page, are you able to see anytthing there related to this "Identity" parameter?

If you can not find anything, could you perhaps share the MSM file (upload it on a server and forward me the download link) with me via email at support at advancedinstaller dot com so I can further investigate this on my end?

Best regards,
