Server.CreateObject Failed ASP 0177 : 800401f3

[jpb1904]

My system is Windows 2003 server with MailEnable installed from Plesk.

I start the demo version of Classic ASP and the login.asp stops immediatley on ths line Set oOptions = Server.CreateObject("MEWebmail.Options") with error "Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3' Server.CreateObject Failed"

I read all forum posts on this and did the following, with no luck:
- found out where MEASP.DLL is installed
- regsvr32 MEASP.DLL
- added folder where MEASP.DLL is installed to path
- gave MEASP.DLL and later the complete folder Read and Execute permissions to pool-user, IME_USER and in the end 'everyone'

Nothing helped. Today is january 2022 and the latest posts are from years ago, so there must be a solution for this. This might be a Plesk thing?

Hi,

Are you running the site as 32bit? The old webmail example will only run as 32bit. Also, the DLL it uses for that is MEAPWMS.DLL. You are best using a COM+ package for the DLL though, it will make it easier. That classic webmail though should just be used as an example, you shouldn't install it on public site.

Thank you for your answer. The site is running in a 64bit environment, however the development environment is classic-ASP, so how can I use/setup a COM+ package for the DLL?

Hi,

You will need to run it as 32bit. The old webmail will fail to run properly under 64bit. You can find details of setting up the DLL at:

You'll need to follow the manual steps listed.
