This is a particularly painful error message to track down.
I can only recommend following some steps, in the hope that one
of them solves the problem. You may encounter this error message in your ASP code,
VBScript Runtime Error: '800a01ad'
ActiveX component Can't create object
This typically occurs on lines where you're attempting to
open a connection through ADO.
Set Conn=CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
With MS Tech Support's help, this error message was
resolved by following these steps.
-
Make sure you have MDAC
2.x installed.
-
Register \program files\common
files\System\MSADO15.dll with RegSvr32.
-
Make sure IUSR_<Server> AND IWAM_<Server>
accounts both have Read/Execute NTFS rights on the following folders
cascaded down.
- \program files\common files\System
- \Winnt
- \InetPub\WWWRoot
-
Open Console and make sure that there's a
valid IP Address in "Default Web
Site"'s Properties. If the permissions were messed up
before and you opened
Console, it's likely that the IP would change to "All Unassigned".
-
Reboot server. Don't assume that
stopping/starting the service will work
correctly.
