COM3 reg key deleted, COM+ component services not working - how do i restore?


I was looking in to migration of one of our in house applications from XP to Win7. While doing this, I removed the COM3 registry key from: HKEY_LOACL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/COM3. (I did not back it up. lesson learned)

Since doing this I now get the following error:

Is there a way to re-install COM+ component services? And will that fix the reg key that I removed? What other actions could I take if that doesn't work?

Thanks!


Solution

  • There was no way to restore the com+ service. I had to re-image the machine. Sources: MS tele support, Local IT support, web.
