can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'

[Astra]

Hi All

I know there are numerous postings on the web about this, but none of them
seem definitive and they haven't resolved my issue.

I'm running WinXP Professional and IIS v5.1 to create my ASP sites.

JMail, ASPupload, ODBC, OLEDB all work fine, but I keep getting:

ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'

on the FileSys routine in my ASP pages. I have to use it because I need to
dynamically look into the contents of a set folder.

I know its down to an external issue such as permissions, because the exact
same page/site works fine on 2 other WinXP machines with the same config.

I've done IIS' in-built permissions wizard routine on the entire ASP folder,
but still to no avail.

Is there any magic process that I can apply to resolve this once and for
all??

Is this the problem?

Hi Bob

Thanks for this, but no joy.

I don't have Norton or McAfee installed.

I do have MS Anti-Spyware and Windows Security setup so disabled these to
see if they made a diff, but they didn't.

Any more ideas?

It may be a dependent file it is failing on. Try
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml . Set the log
running, generate the error , stop the log. Examine the log file, it will
show:

The program making the call
The file being called
Success or failure.

This should give you a good idea of where the problem is.
