winhttp script works on 2000 but not on XP or server 2003

[wciccadmin]

Hello,

I have a vbs that uses winhttp to copy the contents of a web page to a local text file on a windows 2000 server.

It runs fine on the 2000 server but I tried running it from my XP workstation and a 2003 server and the script will not run.

The error I get is

ActiveX component can't create object: "WinHTTP.WinHTTPRequest.5"


I checked and the winhttp.dll is on my xp and 2003 machine and both are registered properly.

Any ideas as to what I am missing...

here is the code in its simpliest form, just grabbing the contents of a single page and displaying it as a message box... it runs fine on the 2000 machine, but not on XP or 2003 server.


--------

Dim objWinHttp
Dim strHTML

Set objWinHttp = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5")

objWinHttp.Open "GET", "

http://www.google.com"

objWinHttp.Send

strHTML = objWinHttp.ResponseText

msgbox strHTML

Set objWinHttp = Nothing

------------


any ideas why it will not run on xp or 2003 server?

For XP you need to change:

[tt]Set objWinHttp = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5")
[/tt]

to

[tt]Set objWinHttp = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
[/tt]

I'm not sure what version you need for Server 2003.



Hope this helps.
