ASP 0178 0x80070005 access denied permission when using custom vb dll

[TheInsider]

Hello,
I just finished patching this bug on a Windows 2000 Server:

Server object, ASP 0178 (0x80070005)
The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object.

This error occurs when attempting to debug a custom Visual Basic dll in an ASP page -- or in other words: using a custom Visual Basic dll in ASP that you are in the process of debugging in VB.

I searched Tek-Tips and Yahoo, however I found all previous replies to others, having this problem, pointed to [possibly] an incorrect Microsoft Knowledgebase article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q278013

I found the latter to be completely useless. I found the following Microsoft Knowledgebase article to be the correct solution:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;259725

Hope this can help prevent some headaches in the future!

I was having this exact same problem in just trying to create a word document and converting it to an HTML on our Intranet. After taking both approaches that it mentioned I was still getting the same error, so I took my approach to solving the problem.

What I did was the following:
1.. Start Internet Services Manager.

2.. Right-click the Virtual Directory where the ASP page resides, and
then click Properties.

3.. Click File Security Tab then the Edit button within the frame of Anonymous access and authentication control.

4.. (by default on our windows 2000 server anonymous access is unchecked) Make sure that the anonymous access is Checked! and click the edit button within it.

5.. This part is based on your local administrative group for that server. add in a local administrator with a password and click OK.

6.. Apply these settings and then click ok and you should be good to go.

I know it's not good to set the anonymous logon as an administrator for that page or any page but it's the only way I could get the page to work. I hope this helps if the other alternatives don't work.
