Hi All,

I am almost stuck with my problem. I explain it. Any kind of help will be appreciated.

I m trying to run/call a component in ASP. Component is installed on server where my IIS server is installed. The component is an Exe (also run as stand alone application) and I can run it on server.

1. Invoking this exe from ASP using CreateObject, gives error as...
Cannot launch out of process...Only InProc server components be used. If you want to use LocalServer components, you must set the AspAllowOutOfProcComponents metabase setting. ...

2. To solve above, I tried to run code, as I could not locate where to set AspAllowOutOfProcComponents manually
<%
Set WebServObj = GetObject(&quot;IIS://LocalHost/W3Svc&quot
WebServObj.Put &quot;AspAllowOutOfProcComponents&quot;, True
WebServObj.SetInfo
%>

3. Now, pt 2 fails at the first statement itself, saying
Permission denied: GetObject

I am absolutely stuck what to do, as it is very urgent to meet my deadline and I do not know what and wher to look for this.

If anyone of kknow how to solve this/these problems, I am heartly thankful.

Thanks
Nanda (&amp;Pong)
