ServerObject aspImage in Win 2008 64-bit

Question

Does anybody have any experience/ knowledge in installing the aspImage.dll on a 64-bit Windows 2008 platform?

I have a Classic ASP site that uses this component and would badly need to get the dll running. I have tried checking support documents for these to no avail.

Would really do appreciate your response.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Exactly the same problem migrating from server 2003 iis6 to server 2008 iis7 64 bit. Creating a new com+ application solved the problem.

I created the application I named aspimage using the com+ wizard as a server app, used local service for permissions, left default creator owner role alone, added users everyone and authenticated. After the folders were created, I added a component using the wizard. Already registered component, (assumes regsvr32 %systemroot%\syswow64\aspimage.dll ) and selected the check boxes 32 bit registry and details to ensure selection of the correct dll. Finish and the process worked. I hope this helps someone.

In general if you want to use a 32-bit COM object on a 64-bit machine you'll want to register the COM object use the regsvr32 executable located in the Windows\SysWOW64 folder. In IIS you'll want to go to the application pool advanced settings and select true for the Enable 32-bit Applications setting.

I know this is old, but I had similar problems this week:

To answer the question about registering, yes, you still have to run their registration tool and enter your license key. If using UAC, remember that both the regsvr32 and the aspimage's registration app must be run "as administrator".
