ASP Error 0x800A01AD: ActiveX component can't create object: 'WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5'

[Stuart Redhead]

I have an ASP script that implements various CreateObject calls. All
load Ok EXCEPT WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.

So far I have tried:
* All the permutations I can think of to name to Object (ie
CreateObject("WinHTTP.WinHttpRequest") etc
* regsvr winhttp.dll (Reported no problems)
* Changing the NTFS permissions on winhttp.dll to give the Internet
Guest Account and Launch IIS Process Account explicit permission to
execute the file

The message that is found in the browser is as follows:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01AD)
ActiveX component can't create object: 'WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5'
/redirector2.asp, line 44

The script is running on the following server configuration:
* Windows 2000 Server, Service Pack 4

If anyone has any ideas how to resolve the problem I will be extremely
grateful. I have just spent 3 full days trying to work out how to fix
this.

You might be using the wrong ProgID in the CreateObject calls.

If you are using WinHTTP version 5.1 (DLL name "winhttp.dll"), the ProgID
for the WinHttpRequest component is "WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1" (note the
".5.1").

"WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5" is the ProgID of the WinHttpRequest component in
WinHTTP 5.0 (DLL name "winhttp5.dll").

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day
Tell him to use OleView and he can suss his own ProdIds.
