Encrypted ASP doesn't work - misplaced @ command?

[denoxis]

Hi,

I tried to encrypt my 70K-long ASP code. It's pure ASP, beginning with <% and ending with %> No HTML or anything. When I encrypt and upload it, web server gives &quot;Page Command Out Of Order&quot; error at the first line. &quot;@ commands must be at the first line&quot; it says. First line is this:

<%@ LANGUAGE = VBScript.Encode %>

On the other hand, I created a quick test code with response.write and encrypted it. The very first line is exactly same as the one above. But it worked. If I encrypt without adding the line above it won't work at all.

What might be the problem you think?

Double check that you aren't including any other asp files that have language defined at the top. This is generally the cause of the error you displayed, in that programmers will forget and use that line at the top of a script that is being included.

Hope this is the solution, only thing I could think of off the top of my head,
