ActiveX EXE IIS "Access Denied" [RESOLVED]

[Chubby]

***** RESOLUTION ******

Found changes to IIS in XP Pro SP2 prevent anonymous access !!
Changed to Integrated Authentication & All is well with the world.

Only took a whole effing day searching for something that should
in my opinion be trumpeted from the rooftops by Microsoft !!!!!

Hey Chaps,

I've got an ActiveX EXE as an object on a web page, it works on my development PC but deployed to a User's PC the message comes back as "Access Denied".

Any ideas what i'm missing? The User on the machine has full Admin Rights.

The client is XP Pro, as is my Dev. PC.

Thanks

You need to check the IE settings. Click on Tools menu from IE and choose "Internet Option", go to security tab, click on "Custom Level" and then scroll down and make sure ActiviX is enabled to download and run.

That should fix the problem.

Hey Danial,

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately it appears the problem is deeper than this.

The settings for ActiveX are correct (Low IIS process etc). The problem appears to lie in the SP version of either IIS (5.1) of Win XP Pro (SP2).

The developer machine has XP PRo SP1a, the target has XP PRo SP2.

The ActiveX EXE is instantiated and run on the developer machine Out of Process without a problem.

On the target machine I get the error:

Server object error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005'
Server.CreateObject Access Error Outbound.asp, line 12 The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object.

Trolling the other support sites etc it appears its permissions related but I've set all the User's Access to the EXE using dcomConfig and am stil lno further forward....

Cheers.
