Win2K WEBClass gets CreateObject error 2

[jpittawa]

If you try to use Visual Studio to write and debug a WEBClass in a Windows 2000 environment, you will almost definitely get the following error:

" Server object, ASP 0178 (0x800A0005) The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object."

The text may very slightly, but the error number will not and the message will be that CreateObject failed on line 14 of the WEBClass' ASP page.

Microsoft's Knowledge Base has the answer:

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

This article suggests two remedies. The first is a registration entry and the other deals with permissions on the server. I opted for the first and it worked flawlessly on my two development machines. Both are Win2K Professional with all the latest security patches. One has .Net as well as "Classic" Visual Studio 6.0 SP5 Enterprise version.
