Creating objects in IIS fails
-
I've a friend with a strange problem: any time he tries to create an object - either a COM object or an intrinsic object such as Scripting.Dictionary, the ASP engine barfs and says it can't create the object. His setup is a new XP isntall (he assures me) but something is obviously awry. The funny thing is that objects can be created inside .vbs files - just not within ASP pages. All mappings are correct, permissions are standard, out-of-the-box. It's XP Pro. Anyone come across this before?

This is just a total stab in the dark but if IIS is version 5.1 check out the link for a fix http://www.brooksyounce.com/xp_asp_fix.htm
