NEWBIE: Global.asa error on new Win2003/IIS6 server

[Scott Gordo]

I've got a simple asp form working fine on a test server with
Win2000/IIS5. I'm using a global.asa taken from "ASP for Dummies".

Here's the code:
<OBJECT RUNAT=Server SCOPE=Session ID=MyInfo PROGID="MSWC.MyInfo">
</OBJECT>
<OBJECT RUNAT=Server SCOPE=Application ID=Counter
PROGID="MSWC.Counters">
</OBJECT>
<OBJECT RUNAT=Server SCOPE=Session ID=Tools PROGID="MSWC.Tools">
</OBJECT>
<OBJECT RUNAT=Server SCOPE=Application ID=Status PROGID="MSWC.Status">
</OBJECT>

As I said, works fine on the test server, but I'm getting an error on
the Win2003/IIS6 server.

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0134'
Invalid ProgID attribute
/LM/W3SVC/1845600772/Root/global.asa, line 1
The object has an invalid ProgID of 'MSWC.MyInfo'.

Any guidance on how to rectify?

Thanks!

Scott

Install MSWC.Info on the server?

From http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2476, " ... MSWC.Info no longer ships
with IIS 6.0"

Thanks -- I had just found that article on aspfaq.com when I checked
back here.
Based on another site's suggestion I also tried deleting the line,
which then errored to MSWC.counters, which, when deleted, errored at
MSWC.Tools....
I'm not the server admin, and I know that they're trying to keep things
locked down. How does one install MSWC.Info? I googled and the
aspfaq.com article as the only citing. So I guess I'm going to have to
try to convince the admin to allow me to install four MSWC.*?

That's why I posted the other links. Trying to install them may not be a
prudent thing to do. You should contact MS Product Support.
