We have developed a PowerPoint add-in using VB and VC++. I am attempting to get this add-in to run under PowerPoint in WINE. I have started by registering each of the DLL's we have developed, and registered the add-in itself with PowerPoint. My issue is that when PowerPoint loads, it gives me: Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object According to: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q177394 It appears to be an issue with DCOM. I have DCOM98 installed, as well as the VB and VC runtimes. Has anyone using or developing add-ins had any success getting them to run under WINE? Has anyone encountered/fixed this problem? Thanks, Juan
