Thanks for any help in advance.
 
Now I move onto trying to get one of the vb apps to work.
 
I have installed both Citrix Server SDK 2.3 and MF Presentation Server SDK
3.0
(mfreg from 3.0 used to register server)
 
When I run the farminfo.exe from 3.0 it crashes and I get
System.InvalidCastException.  On the line 

farm.Initialize(MetaFrameObjectType.MetaFrameWinFarmObject)  (VB.net)

When i run the farminfo.exe from 2.3 i get the form screen and it seems to
know the name of our farm but nothing else.

I ran both using run as and with my farm admin id.

I have posted this also to the dev forum but no answers.

You don't need mfcom.exe. Just download mfreg.exe and run "mfreg.exe
<SERVERNAME".

I am trying some stuff with the SDK but have got into problems while trying
to get it working from my desktop (XP pro) to our MF servers.

I was using some WSH files and they seemed to be talking to the MF farm ok.
But I could not get my VB to work. 

So I thought I would unregister mfreg  and try it again.  Problem is that it
blew away mfcom.exe and I can't get it back :(

I tried running mfreg servername and also mfreg /regserver.  The last one
tries to create the service but does not but mfcom anywhere.

I ended up trying to copy it from our MF server but that did not seem to
work. 

Anyone got any ideas?  Is MFREG the only way to get mfcom installed locally?


Totally lost.  I am also going to post on the developer forum but I don't
get many answers there.
