FileSystemObject error

[jhowe]

I am migrating some items from Personal Web Server to IIS 4.0 and have an error when I try to create a FileSystemObject. The only line of code I have is:

var FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"

and the resulting error is

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
/PyConf/login.asp, line 15
Invalid class string

Does IIS 4.0 not necessarily come with the scripting object as standard ?

Thanks in advance,

jhowe

I tried running your code as you have it ( and a few extra lines to read a file ) on an IIS 4.0 server and it worked fine. I didn't set up the server though so I don't know if fileSystemObject is given as an option at install time. You should probably ask the server tech about it.

You might want to check into the scripting host on the server. I am not sure but I think that the FileSystemObject is a VBscripting language context and not a ASP issue. And also what code is at line 15? kinda odd to have code at line 15 without 15 lines of something.

I believe the windows scripting host is an optional component during option pack installation. It can also be installed from the IE5 setup. [sig]<p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br>[/sig]
