Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)

Hi,

I have built a DLL using VB 6.0 and trying to run create the object in
ASP.

Eg:

<%
set a = Server.Createobject("Office.clsOffice")
%>

When the ASP is executed, I received the error message:

Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)
Invalid class string

I have regsvr32 the dll, added the DLL in Component services, grant
full access to the dll for the ISUR_XXX , IWAM_XXX users and even
administrator. But no matter what, it still doesn't work.

I am using WinXP Pro client and IIS 5.1.

The ASP and DLL works fine in my Win2K server. Is there some settings
in XP that I have missed out?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Check that the component has registered properly.

In using RegEdit search for the key Office.clsOffice in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

Under this key look at the value of the CLSID key which will be a GUID.

Now search HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID for a key name of that GUID.

Under the GUID key find the value of the InprocServer key. This should be
the path to your DLL.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your reply. I checked the registry, it is pointing to the
right path where the DLL resides.

I tried to instantiate the object using my EXCEL VBA referencing to the
same DLL. It works fine. Eg: Set a = CreateObject("Office.clsOffice").

But it just totally doesn't work in IIS. Wierd .. :(

On thing that is confusing me is you mentioning you've been fiddling with
Component services trying to get this to work. Have you installed this DLL
in a COM+ application? If so why is it in a COM+ app?

Hi,

Mmm. Sounds like I may be doing the wrong thing.

Yes, I have installed the DLL in COM+ application. It is part of our
client requirement to deploy the DLL in COM+ application. Is it not
suppose to be a COM+ application?

I am sorry for the confusion. I know that instantiate the DLL from
Excel is totally different from using it from the COM+ way. I am just
trying to ensure the DLL is working fine.
