iis security : Create ActiveX Object in IIS6
Recently, I am working on a web server migration from W2K with IIS5 to Window 2003 SP1 with IIS6. There is an ASP page in my web site that use VBScript to create object from DLL. I have enable ASP in IIS6 and when I run the ASP page, an error "Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad' ActiveX component can't create object: 'iPGClientCOM.iPGClient' shown in the browser. I want to know if there is any setting that I have missed. Kenneth P.S. iPGClientCOM.iPGClient is a thrid-party client software install in the
It sounds like the 3rd party client software is not installed or
functioning properly on Windows Server 2003. Please verify with the vendor that the software version you are using is supported on Windows Server 2003 SP1. The fact that it ran on IIS5/W2K is not relevant for discussion because the code could be written to not run on Windows Server 2003 -- so it would work on IIS5/W2K but fail on IIS6/WS03 -- and who has the responsibility to make the application work? The application vendor. Failure to create the object indicates it is not registered properly. Are you running Windows Server 2003 SP1 on a 64bit machine? If so, then the 3rd party component is 32bit only and registered for 32bit processes only -- and IIS runs in native 64bit on 64bit Windows by default, so it will not be able to create that object. In any case, the issue has to be resolved with the 3rd party client software support. You need to determine if your specific version supports Windows Server 2003 SP1 of the right processor architecture, and if it is supported, you need to obtain further support from them on how to make the application work. //David http://w3-4u.blogspot.com http://blogs.msdn.com/David.Wang // On Mar 15, 12:58 am, Kenneth <Kenn...@discussions.microsoft.com> [quoted text, click to view] wrote:

I actually had the same problem and I know for sure that the DLL is registered.
The OS is a 32 bit system and the DLL is 32-bit as well. I have one line in my asp page saying: loServer = server.createObject("DLLName.classname") The next line calls a methos in that class and THAT line gives the error saying that the object is not available. I created the DLL myself ON the server AND registered it on the server. -- There's light at the end of the tunnel...

Please provide the actual error message because paraphrasing can be
misleading. Your issue does not sound like the same problem as the earlier one because that one had to do with the class not being registered so the component could not be created -- your class appears registered and instantiated but failed to invoke methods, which would be a completely different problem. However, if you had "on error resume" or such statement, then you may not be looking at the actual error, either. I guess the bottom line is that one can definitely create ActiveX objects on default IIS6 settings -- there is no prohibition by IIS. If you encounter problems, the issue is most likely within some requirement/dependency within the ActiveX object itself -- which you will have to resolve with that product's support personel. You may have to end up changing IIS configuration, but once again, that is not an IIS issue -- it is a requirement of the component. //David http://w3-4u.blogspot.com http://blogs.msdn.com/David.Wang // On Apr 7, 10:24 am, Boudewijn Lutgerink [quoted text, click to view] <BoudewijnLutger...@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > I actually had the same problem and I know for sure that the DLL is registered. > The OS is a 32 bit system and the DLL is 32-bit as well. > I have one line in my asp page saying: loServer = > server.createObject("DLLName.classname") > The next line calls a methos in that class and THAT line gives the error > saying that the object is not available. > I created the DLL myself ON the server AND registered it on the server. > > -- > There's light at the end of the tunnel...
