DLL registered but not working

Question

I'm on a Windows 10 64-bit system and I registered a dll using RegSvr32.

I received the following message after the RegSvr32:

    ---------------------------
    RegSvr32
    ---------------------------
    DllRegisterServer in myspecial.dll succeeded.
    ---------------------------
    OK   
    ---------------------------

When I tried to run a basic VBS file that does the following:

Set obj = CreateObject("myspecial.clsmycode")

I receive the following message after trying to run that VBS code:

    ---------------------------
    Windows Script Host
    ---------------------------
    Script: C:\test.vbs
    Line:   3
    Char:   9
    Error:  ActiveX component can't create object: 'myspecial.clsmycode'
    Code:   800A01AD
    Source:     Microsoft VBScript runtime error

    ---------------------------
    OK   
    ---------------------------

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or what I need to do to get this to work?

The solution:

My 32-bit DLL was indeed registered on my 64-bit Windows 10 system, however, I was trying to run the script in 64-bit mode. Also, since I was trying to use this DLL within ASP on IIS, it was not working because 32-bit applications were not enabled.

The problem was solved by doing the following:

1) Enabled 32-bit applications within the application pool within the IIS settings.

2) Ran the script in 32 bit mode using this method:
