A COM+ component can only be registered in one application [1]. This
includes .NET ServicedComponents. The thing is: You can *use* it (call it)
from other applications, but the component itself can only be registered in
the COM+ catalog inside a single COM+ application.

[1] This changes a little with partitions in Windows Server 2003, but the
essence is the same....
