[Mono-list] regsvr32

[Andy Satori]

Bonobo and COM+ are about as far apart in implementation as CORBA and COM
are.  That's not to say that System.EnterpriseServices couldn't be
implemented to support Bonobo on Gnome boxes, but they would be incapable of
say calling a remote object on a Windows COM+ based server.  You could
probably munge this all to work locally, but when you start down the path of
COM+ interop, I think you create a large scale problem in managability.

All that said, using .NET native assemblies and .NET remoting, you do get
the benefit of being able to use your assembly assets throughout the
enterprise despite the native host environment.  Furthering that, if you
absolutely must retain legacy COM+ interfaces (I do, I have a large legacy
of VB6 COM interfaces that I must maintain through the transition) you can
wrap those with SOAP webservices, acknowledge a minor performance hit, and
then deploy using SOAP and WebServices thus eliminating the dependency on
COM+.
