Hi all,  
On EntireX DCOM downloads I saw this text:

> Note: This download does not contain any windows components (i.e. no windows makefiles for the examples and no security component). However, it is fully functional, with the one exception that you can only use local authentication (see chapter “EntireX DCOM Installation and Configuration under UNIX” in the product documentation).

:arrow: The questions are: why? where to get windows components to evaluate Linux+Windows scenario?

Hi Yuri,

The Windows components are contained in the commercial version of EntireX DCOM. With the free version you can still evaluate Linux-Windows interop scenarios by

- using local authentication (i.e. you need to set up a local uid/pwd file on Linux with the ntpasswd tool)
- building the examples on Windows with Visual Studio 6 “by hand” (i.e. creating VS6 projects, importing the source files).

If you would like to have the full product for evaluation, you should contact a sales person for a test version.

Regards, Dietmar.
