Problem with Itunes COM object in ASP.NET

[paraguayanto]

First things first - I am by no means an experienced programmer, just a hobbyist.

I'm using Visual Web Developer 2005 to build a web interface to iTunes so I can control it from elsewhere in my house, using a laptop.

I've got a very simple page that populates a drop down box with my playlists, it then plays the selected one.

When I first copied the application to IIS I got the following error:

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

The highlighted error was:

Line 6:      Dim objItunes As New iTunesLib.iTunesApp

So I put an identity line in the Web.Config file. However it only made a difference when I put my own username and password in.

Now I get the following error:


Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {DC0C2640-1415-4644-875C-6F4D769839BA} failed due to the following error: 80080005.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {DC0C2640-1415-4644-875C-6F4D769839BA} failed due to the following error: 80080005.

The same line in my code is highlighted.

I'm sure I'm doing something very stupid (ie not referencing iTunes correctly), but any help would be greatly appreciated.

For information:

Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42;
ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42
IIS Version: 5.1
