Sietse,. That's exactly what I did after look in the system log and seeing DCOM errors in there related to Local Activation Permission not granted to IUSR_.....
I added IUSR_... To the creator/owner and I can now call a batch file :o) Thanks ever so much for your help Robert -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sietse Wijnker Posted At: 15 August 2007 11:25 Posted To: Profox Archive Conversation: Running a batch file from VFP MTDLL Subject: RE: Running a batch file from VFP MTDLL What kind of OS is running your website? Can you instanciate the COM+ component using VFP? My guess is that the COM+ is securing the COM+ Application One extra step is needed: Go into the Roles section of your COM+ application. If there's a role present, edit it. If not create one. Then add the User/groups Everyone, ASPNET, IWAM_... to the Users section of the role Then try again from VFP and web-page Regards & GL, Sietse -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Robert Jennings Verzonden: woensdag 15 augustus 2007 11:43 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: RE: Running a batch file from VFP MTDLL Sietse, I've carried out your instructions and the web page isn't working at all. I've given the component a admin account to run under. If I unload it and go back to the original dll it works. Only when it goes inside component services it fails. These are the steps I took before putting the dll into component services 1, I Stopped the WWW publishing service 2, I ran "regsvr32 /u support.dll" which succeeded. (checked that support.server was removed from registry) 3, I carried out your instructions below to the letter (Named the com+ application as "support" 4, I then started up the WWW publishing service 5, opened my browser and pointed it to the website. The browser reports a http 500 error. The webpage called is an asp page that contains <%set oserver=server.createobject("support.server") Response.write(oserver.main())%> That worked ok before I put the dll into the com+ applications I checked support.server properties and the CLSID, ApplicationID and DLL all look correct. What have I done wrong?

Start Component Services (in administrative tools) 2. Drill down to Console Root/Componen Services/Computers/My Computer/COM+ Applications 3. Right Click on COM+ Applications, select New, Application 4. Click Next on the intro screen of the wizard 5. Click the 'Create an empty application' button 6. Enter a name for your COM+ app, click next 7. Specify the user (this is the user the application uses the credentials of), click next 8. Click Next, Next, Finish 9. Open the application you named, select 'Components' 10. Drag the DLL From Explorer into the left of the screen. This will register the COM classes of the DLL inside COM+ That's it. There are some possibilities for tweaking, but for the first usage this is all.

This user has no rights outside the inetpub folder. Try putting the MTDLL inside a COM+ application, setting it up to impersonate. That way the MTDLL gets called from within IIS but runs under credentials you can specify (and during debugging it's not needed to reset IIS when updating the dll file) Regards, Sietse Wijnker -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Robert Jennings Verzonden: dinsdag 14 augustus 2007 10:58 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Running a batch file from VFP MTDLL Hi all, I've been banging my head against the screen for 2 days trying to solve this one:- I'm creating a batch file to create self extracting zip files which is working fine. This will package up Workstation, Application and Data files into a self extracting zip for application installation. I can run the following command from the command window ! c:\test\setup.bat 110 I can also run this ! &lccommand (Where lccommand="c:\test\setup.bat 110" 110 is a parameter for the batch file.) Both work fine. However, when I compile the code up as a MTDLL and create an object of the DLL and get IIS to run it the ! command doesn't seem to work. It causes a HTTP500 error. I've tried Shellexe to no avail. That returns error code 5 which is Access Denied, but everyone has full control in C:\test\ (for testing purposes) and the DLL can create a text file in that folder. Any idea's?
