Basic problem. <br>*<br>Need to deploy an ASP script using an<br>OLE Object. Origional script was written<br>in InterDev. DLL that is used already<br>exists on target machine. IIS is the<br>Inet server. <br>*<br>Problem is Interdev will not deploy<br>without Front Page extensions. I have<br>downloaded and installed Microsoft Posting<br>Acceptor but this does not seem to work. <br>It also appears to be causing a software<br>conflict with other software installed on<br>the machine. <br>* <br>Is there a way to deploy an Interdev <br>script WIHTHOUT installing Front Page<br>extensions on the target. If not is<br>there a way to port the ASP script to<br>another product that does not require<br>Front Page Extensions or does ASP require<br>Front Page Extensions to run? <br><br><br><br>

Deploying ASP Script

The definition of 'deploy' varies with the developer. Deployment of ASP pages can be as simple as copying the files to the server and using MMC to create the IIS application. Very easy to do manually. Alternatively, you can write scripts to do it all for you. We never use the front page extentions to deploy our stuff. <p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto:nick@bulka.com>nick@bulka.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

We are using a 3rd part API in the script. When we just copy the files and<br>double check the class ID the object isn't initialized properly. The origional<br>developer ran into the same problem on our dev server and did a formal deploy<br>using Interdev and this worked. Somehow we need to figure out what Interdevs<br>formal deploy is doing and duplicate that. The dll does exist on the target <br>server.
Interesting. What's so special about this third party component? And can you elaborate on:<br><br>what do you mean when you say the object isn't initialized properly.<br><br>what do you mean by double checking the class id?<br> <p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto:nick@bulka.com>nick@bulka.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

To try to find out what the problem is with your component, you can create a test page that instanciates the component using CreateObject(). You should be able to inspect the err object after the call to see what the error message is.<br> <p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto:nick@bulka.com>nick@bulka.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
