Error 0x800A005B with COM

[mwinwright]

I have a VB developed COM object from an ASP page that works OK on my laptop (Win2k, IIS5) but when I publish this to my server (Win2k server, IIS5) and register the COM I get the following error
------------------------------------------
Error Type:
ConfiguratorDLL (0x800A005B)
Object variable or With block variable not set
------------------------------------------
Checked MS for such instances and they only show this for NT4 and IIS4.
If it works ok on my laptop I don't understand why it does not on the server?

Did you use an install package to move the object or did you just copy the file over?

It could be that one of the pacvkages your dependant on, that is installed on your first machine, is not present on the second machine. An install package should have either pointed this out or installed the reference/object for you during the course of the install.

Visual Studio 6 has a Package and Deployment Wizard that makes creating packages relatively easy. it may not be the best packaging tool, but it should do the job. Start > Programs > MS Visual Studio 6 > MS VS 6 Tools > Package and Deployment Wizard

Your right I just copied and registered the DLL. I've created an install package and this has worked. You've saved me losing any more hair over this. THANKS for your time replying to this.
