When I call Server.CreateObject(), from my Classic ASP page, I get

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01B6) Object doesn't support this property or method

I’ve tried the following (separately):

Server.CreateObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP') Server.CreateObject('MSXML2.XMLHTTP') Server.CreateObject('MSXML.DOMDocument')

I know the ActiveX objects are installed because the following javascript calls work

var test = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP'); var test = new ActiveXObject('MSXML2.XMLHTTP'); var test = new ActiveXObject('MSXML.DOMDocument');

I’m calling it from my localhost IIS server. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

  1. If you do the following:

    Dim x: x = Server.CreateObject('My.ProgID.Here')

    …VBScript creates the object and then attempts to access the default property for storing in ‘x’. Since none of these objects have a default property defined (specifically an IDispatch-based property with [id(DISPID_VALUE)]), this fails with ‘Object doesn’t support this property or method’.

    What you actually want is this:

    Dim x: Set x = Server.CreateObject('My.ProgID.Here')
