Hesitated to post this since so many have posted, but looking through
all the solutions that worked for others, I can't figure out how to get
them working for me.
I'm to the point that I'd like to follow the "last resort" steps of:
1) Browse to Component Services and delete the following packages
IIS In-Process Applications
IIS Out-of-Process Pooled Applications
IIS Utilities
2) Open DOS prompt
3) cd %windir%\system32\inetsrv
4) rundll32 wamreg.dll, CreateIISPackage
5) regsvr32 asptxn.dll
6) Close & ReOpen Component Services. You should see the above 3
packages recreated.
7) iisreset
TO be honest, I can't get by Step 1. I have Component Services Open
(created the MMC addon) and I can't find the 3 packages to delete.
Below ComponentServices I have "My Computer", below that I have 3 sub
categories:
a) COM+ Applications (which I can't browse to because I get the error
0x80080005
b) DCOM Config (which has a lot of subcategories, but none named
above, though I doubt this is the correct place to look
c) Distributed Transaction Coordinator (below this is List &
Statistics - again I doubt this is the right place to look).
Further background: I've tried skipping step 1 and starting on step 2.
I've executed 2, 3, 4 and on step 5 I get the error
>>>
DllRegisterServer in asptxn.dll failed.
Return code was 0x80080005
<<<
I'm not married to going through the above 7 steps if any have
suggestions that I should try before this - but my suspicion is
something fundamental is misconfigured, and be that as it may or may
not be, I am near my wits end trying to get this to work.
Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated,
Merdinus
