AspAllowOutOfProcComponents error

[Chris909]

I am trying to use an ActiveX exe with an ASP, and I am testing on a WIN98 running PWS. I understand what this problem is and that I need to make a change in the metabase to allow this to work but all the examples around the net do not work for me. I'm assuming the examples are based on a NT server and not PWS but this is what I'm using for code:

Set WebServObj=GetObject("IIS://LocalHost/W3svc&quot
WebServObj.Put"AspAllowOutOfProcComponents",true
WebServObj.Setinfo


When I run this code I get:

Runtime error 8000a01b0

File name or class name not found during Automation operation:'GetObject'

Is it a path issue or what?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Did you look closer at the first line you posted ?

Set WebServObj=GetObject("IIS://LocalHost/W3svc&quot

Your calling a IIS server primitive. Not a PWS one. You could ever try Set WebServObj=GetObject("PWS://LocalHost/W3svc&quot but I don't think this'll work...

I could look at it all day and not notice the problem

I'm new to this ASP stuff, so I'm just fumbling my way through. I think if I can get past this problem I'll be OK the rest of the way.

I'll give what you said a try,

Thanks

Well no go on your suggestion, and I've tried about every path that I can think of.

Does anyone else have any idea about this

I can't be the only one trying to do this, or should the example above work and there is something wrong with my system.

Thanks for any help.

Don't you have IIS somewhere ? You wont use PWS for the final version of your site, ain't you ? Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)

Yes but I need to be able to develop this application first on my PC. The ActiveX EXE app is huge and will require a great deal of testing and debugging so I must be able to get this working. PWS is IIS 4 isn't it, I can't see any reason why this will not function correctly, thats the whole idea of PWS.
