Installing the DCOM Connector in the MTS
For the installation, two steps are necessary:
- Copying or installing the required files using SAPSetup. See also Installing RFC SDK .
- Installing the DCOM Connector components in the MTS.
Installing the DCOM Connector
Prerequisites
Operating system Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 3) or Windows 95.
- The MTS (Microsoft Transaction Server) and Windows
Scripting Host are installed on the target machine (NT Option Pack).

The respective files have been copied to the directory OLEDBSD (default
name) of the target machine.
- You have administration authorization on the target machine.
Procedure
To install the SAP R/3 DCOM Connector Components in MTS on your target machine, proceed
as follows:
- Make sure that no (older) version of the DCOM Connector is installed on the target
machine. If there is one, deinstall it.
- Install the RFC SDK on your target machine. Start program SAPSetup and
follow the instructions given there. See also Installing
RFC SDK.
The corresponding files are copied to the directory RFCSDK of the target
machine.

The installation of the Object Builder package und Samples package are optional. The
separation of the core components and the optional components allows to specify two
different environments, e.g. production environment and development environment.
- Choose the pushbutton Setup.
See also Troubleshooting for the Build Process.
