COM Applications not working


Our Test web server recently went down and we lost COM+ Applications installations. I am trying to reinstall the COM Applications. I have the installed the COM Applications and have the Identity set to run as Local Service. I have Security set to Perform access checks at the process and component level. The activation type is Server Application.

Environment: Windows Server 2003 Classic ASP

I have verified that ASP is installed and works. I get a 500 Internal Server error when the page gets to a point to call CreateObject.

There must be a security setting somewhere that I am missing. I have tried giving Local Service Account and Network Service account full permissions on the root folder housing the .dll's.


Solution

  • Found the problem. We had to go into IIS, view the website properties, go to the Home Directory, Click on Configuration and then the Options tab and finally check the "Enable Parent Path" checkbox.
