dcom question

[crk007]

We are using Acrobat 4.0 in our web application. It was working fine in Windows 2000. Now we are planning to move this to Windows 2003 and it is failing to create this object AcroExch.PDDoc. We are doing CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc") in an asp page and it fails with an error "Permission Denied". This object should launch the Acrobat.exe on the local machine which hosts the object. How do I get rid of this error. Please help.

thanks in advance.

This is more IIS 6.0 issue than DCOM. In IIS 6.0 in Windows 2003, you get added security which gives the developers problems! Actually the web pages you are hosting would be given execute permission to users and make sure that the user list given access to your virtual directory in IIS 6.0 and the same list of users are given access to folder where the Acrobat object whch you are trying to create resides. This should solve the issue.
