Proccessor architecture notes

Microsoft Windows NT can run on multiple platform architectures (is available for systems based on several different processor types), such as Intel, MIPS, Alpha, Power PC. All these platforms require different compiled (executable) binaries of the operating system (OS) itself and also different binaries of all programs that be installed on top of the respective OS.

InstallMaster is only available for Intel platforms. This means that it can only be installed on Windows NT systems that run on systems built around Intel processors or compatibles (AMD, Cyrix, etc.). Also, the setup kits that you can build with InstallMaster will only run on Intel based systems.

Where to find DCOM

DCOM (Distributed COM) is not included in Windows 95, it must be separately installed. It transparently provides support for reliable, secure, and efficient communication between COM components such as ActiveX® controls, scripts, and Java applets residing on different machines in a LAN, a WAN, or on the Internet.
