Having problems with CDONTS in XP Pro

[TonyU]

I'm having a problem with sending my first ASP email from my XP Pro system; has anyone run into this problem lately ??

Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)
Invalid class string
/folder/email.asp, Line 3

Dim objMail
'Line 3 = Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail&quot
%>

CDONTS comes standard on Windows 2000 machines, but must be manually installed on Windows XP servers by copying and registering the CDONTS.dll. Have you done this?

You can download the CDONTS.DLL from

http://dll.yaroslavl.ru/index.php3?lng=&in_char=C.

All you need to do once you've downloaded the file is to copy it in your c:/windows/system32 folder and run "regsvr32 cdonts.dll".
