  IIS7 and Classic ASP, error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005' when calling "CreateObject" Reply Contact I am about to shift my development from XP to Vista X64 Ultimate and was trying to setup one of our older webapps on IIS7. This webapp is a mixed project with both C#/ASP.NET and old classic ASP pages that call COM+ objects created in VB6. These VB6 COM objects then use ADODB to connect to a SQLServer2005 database and returns ADODB.Recordset's to the ASP page for further presentation in the response page. I have registred all the VB6 DLL's under "Component services" just as we always have done on XP and Win2003 X64 (where our app works fine) But on Vista and IIS7, I get a permission error on the CreateObject line. Can anyone help me out here? I think I have tried everything by now, including giving "Everyone" full permission to the DLL files. I'm about to lose my mind here, this is so frustrating.

  Re: IIS7 and Classic ASP, error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005' when calling "CreateObject" Reply Contact First, a lesson on Windows permissions and groups.  Granting Full Control to a group only affects the accounts in that group.  The group "Everyone" is just a group.  It isn't "Every account on the system" and in fact does not, by default, include anonymous user or ASP.NET process accounts.  So granting Full Control to Everyone and then accessing a DLL under an account that isn't in the group means that your efforts were not only wasted, but potentially dangerous in terms of security.  Always assign access to an account or a group that contains only the accounts you want to have access. You can use Filemon for Systernals, now owned by Microsoft, to check what account is trying to access what file. If you enable a request trace you may find more information, checking the event logs will likely reveal something and checking the ASP FAQ at www.aspfaq.com will help.  But you're probably right about the permissions, you just missed the correct account, most likey the anonymous user account.

  Re: IIS7 and Classic ASP, error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005' when calling "CreateObject" Reply Contact Thanks for the information Jeff. I changed the permission and now I get error 'ASP 0196 : 80040154' instead. I get the text "If you want to use LocalServer-components set AllowOutOfProcComponents in the metabase" (Translated into english from swedish, so the english error text might look something different). As far as I understand it, our VB6 DLL's should be in-process.. What to do? I never had to change anything like this on Win2003, I just had to registred the DLL's under "Component Services" and everything worked. Any ideas?

Shouldnt it be the "IUSR_" account?

  Re: IIS7 and Classic ASP, error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005' when calling "CreateObject" Reply Contact I already checked that page, and every other page found by google on this topic I think. I'm also back on my original error now, with permission error. The previous post I did where I thought I had come further simply wasn't the case after all. I would love to see a complete guide on how to configure this but havent found one so far. Something like, how to register COM objects for use with classic ASP on IIS7. I'm kind of novice on the "Component Services" part. The thing that bugs me the most is the fact that everything works fine on a Win2003 X64 machine with the exact same settings for these COM objects. There is obviously something with either IIS7 or Vistas security that I dont understand here. BTW: I created to most simple COM object in VB6 and gave every user and every group full access to the DLL, I registred it in "Component Services" and created a simple classic ASP file that tried to instance it using "server.createobject("test.testobj")... SAME ERROR,  'ASP 0178 : 80070005'. Classic ASP works for normal things, but as soon as I try to create an object using "server.createobject" I get the permission error.

  Re: IIS7 and Classic ASP, error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005' when calling "CreateObject" Reply Contact Yes, but it wasnt pretty. And since I have a swedish version of Vista, I dont know the exact name for the settings in the english version. But if you select properties for your COM+ application and select the "security" tab there should be a checkbox at the top "Force access check for this application" (Directly translated from the swedish text I see here). I think it started to work when I unchecked that one. I got this working in november last year so I dont remember exactly what I did.

  Re: IIS7 and Classic ASP, error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005' when calling "CreateObject" Reply Contact You should not register the DLL with regsvr32, instead you create a new "application" in Component services (enter "comexp.msc" in the "run" window of Windows) under COM+ applications.  Component services -> Computers -> This computer -> COM+ applications Create a new empty application there and follow the guide, at the end of the wizard you are asked to select your DLL file.
