"Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'Interop.FAXCOMEXLib' does not
have a strong name"


I have a COM+ application built using vb.net, it has several components, all
of which are

native components inherited from

System.EnterpriseServices.ServicedComponent, this application is signed by a
strong name

it is registered by regsvcs32 and its up and running fine.

now I am trying to add faxing capabilities to this application using Microsoft

Interop.FAXCOMEXLib.dll (fxcomex.dll)

the problem is that my COM+ application doesnt build now, it fails with an
error message :

Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'Interop.FAXCOMEXLib' does not
have a strong name


i've tried the tlbimp.exe command but it fails with an error message:

TlbImp error: Unable to locate input type library:
'C:\tarasol\TarasolEngine\bin
\interop.faxcomex.dll\'

seems its trying to locate tlb file to successfully sign the interop
assemble but such tlb doesn't exist anywhere


have anyone tried this before ? is there a solution to add the fxcomex.dll
to a COM+ application and get it successfully built

Thanx in advance,

In article <F988EB45-424A-4845-872F-719D9525175C (AT) microsoft (DOT) com>,
FASHA (AT) discussions (DOT) microsoft.com says...
Is "fxcomex.dll" a COM object?

If so, you'll need to generate the interop assembly yourself using
tlbimp.exe and the /keyfile switch. If you just reference a COM object
from the VS.NET IDE, it generates an interop wrapper, but doesn't use
the /keyfile switch so it is not signed.

Locate "fxcomex.dll" on your hard drive, then create the wrapper
assembly with tlbimp

tlbimp.exe fxcomex.dll /keyfile:mykey.snk /out:interop.faxcomex.dll

Then add a reference to interop.faxcomex.dll.
