DTS - Invalid Interface String

Hello,
i'm writing an application (using Delphi 7) in which i must use a DTS to
export data from a MSSQLServer database to a Paradox one. I made it up on a
machine where i can have it working properly, but when i try to use the same
application on another computer i get an "invalid interface string" error
right when the DTS is called
Working machine has SQLServer and Delphi 7 installed running on WinXP Pro
SP2, not working machine has only same OS installed. Note that that one is
the only error i get trying to access data that are on a remote server, i
can use properly every table but not using DTS.
Any suggestions on what i forgot?

DSO properties?

RemoteRepositoryConnectionString
A string property that defines a connection to a remote Analysis Services
repository.
RepositoryConnectionString
A string property that defines the connection to the metadata repository.
what are they really?
are they the cube database or the data source database which is used by Cube?

The repository database is the one that holds the cube structures and
metadata. This database is used by Analysis Manager and the DSO library.
It really only comes into play when building and processing cubes and
dimensions.
As someone pointed out in a post recently, you can query cubes without
having this database at all.
There are two different connection strings because when you are on the
server you can access this database using "localhost" or a reference to
"C:\...", depending on whether you are using Access or SQL to hold your
repository. When you access AS remotely using Analysis Manager you need
to connect to the server by its network name, or to the access database
via a network share (which is setup when you install and Analysis
Manager knows about)
