aka: Problem with ASP Pages
After Hours of dreaded headache I finally discovered how to fix this problem without reinstalling Windows XP!!
First TURN OFF Friendly ERROR URL's (an Option in IE)
Check Event Log!
Check your Event Viewer for these errors...
MSDTC errors (4427,4691,4135 are common error events for this)
W3SVC Event 36 "The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT/'. The error was 'Class not registered"
Of Course Try these First...
At the command line type "sfc /scannow" (have your XP CD in the CD drive)
Reinstall Service Pack 1 for Windows XP
Try uninstalling IIS then reinstalling it
How to Fix it! (if nothing else can!)
Open "Control Panel" and then "Administrative Tools" then Open "Services"...
Locate the "Distributed Transaction Coordinator" make sure the process is "Started" and "Automatic"
(If its not, open a command line and type "msdtc -install", then try and start the service)
Open a command line and type the following...
cd %windir%\system32\inetsrv
rundll32 wamreg.dll, CreateIISPackage (NOTE: "CreateIISPackage" must be typed exactly; it is case-sensitive.)
regsvr32 asptxn.dll (wait for a dialog box to notify you asptxn has registered correctly)
IISRESTART
Open "Control Panel" then "Component Services"...
You should see all three IIS COM+ applications that have been recreated (see picture below)
ASP Pages should now be working!!!
If ASP Pages are still not working, Uninstall your antivirus software, and repeat steps.
