Hi guys, can't seem to make my asp page work here...

error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01AD)
ActiveX component can't create object: 'msxml3.xmlhttp'

Note: i have already installed msxml3 SP 5 in my pc few mins. ago, registered the dll and all but it seems to be the problem coz the error points here:

set xh = createobject("msxml3.xmlhttp")

any ideas?
 
Try version independent progid.
[tt] set xh = createobject("msxml[red]2[/red].xmlhttp") [/tt]
(There is/may be no such thing as msxml3.xmlhttp.) The nomination remains to be characterized by msxml2 despite newer version is installed. Only there are suffixes like .3.0 etc if creating specific version is important.
 
i see. but why then does it still look for msxml3?

here is the new error:

msxml3.dll (0x800C0005)
The system cannot locate the resource specified.


same line..

One simple thing to do is to do a search on the registry for the "msxml2.http". It should turn up quite a number of hits. Some are spurious and some are under clsid and they are significant data.
 
>"msxml2.http"
I meant of course this.
"msxml2.[red]xml[/red]http".
 
i found entries:

one is under VersionIndependentProgid, and the other one is under Progid, and another one under msxml2.xmlhttp and another under msxml2.xmlhttp.2.6

In that case, you should at least fine entry as "msxml2.xmlhttp.3.0". But leave it alone for the moment. You can run a standalone vbs to instantiate it (using version independent progid). Do you see error?
 
same line error:

msxml2.dll (0x800C0005)
The system cannot locate the resource specified.

Maybe a re-install is on the agenda? otherwise I listen others comments.
