ASpTear- registered the .dll, but not in com list to pick

[ahaws]

Hello All-
Was just asked by my boss to find out about screen scraping and web page tearing. I ran into a free component, AspTear 1.5 from Christopher Wille.
I was able to register the .dll succesfully on the IIS 4.0 Webserver with a Frontpage 2000 webpage, however, it will not create a new component by installing from a pre registered component.(It's not in the list- and I made sure I refreshed the list). I guess I want to know if I am going about installing this component correctly...
Any ideas are appreciated!
Angie

What list are you referring to?

Have you tried calling the component from an asp page? If so and you get an error, post the error.

Have you checked the registry for it's existence?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Component Name

Hey SpencerTaylor -
I guess Im getting bogged down with too many details. I thought I had to create a package through MTS for the component to be useable, but maybe just registering the .dll will work.( I hope )

I was able to successfully register the .dll by installing the aspTEar.dll to c:/ on the webserver, then running start|run regsvr32 c:\aspTear.dll. It said it was registered succesfully. I did a search in regedit and found that aspTEar.dll was registered under CLSID in a folder called InProcServer32. I have not yet tried to call it through as asp yet, that's step 2.

I will let you know what happens, but please inform me if I have done something incorrectly (from above)
Thanks so much
Angie
