This is being posted for all those developers who are running out of process exe in an asp and keep getting the nasty error:
Server object error ‘ASP 0178 : 80070005’
Server.CreateObject Access Error
testOOP.asp, line 12
The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions.
Access is denied to this object.
Please refer to this article which I found through this link.
Basically, you need to add IUSR account to the default permissions in the DCOM settings. Another developer and myself worked on this issue literally for hours until I finally came across that article.
