hey guys, I'm having trouble with a damn form to mail asp page. It worked fine with my win2k system with IIS 5.0, but I'm having trouble in XP and IIS 5.0. I believe it has something to do with security or something. Anyhow, basically I'm trying to create a new server object for CDONTS and on the line that I'm creating this object I get the error:

Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)
Invalid class string
I would greatly appriciate it if anyone could help

IIS 5.1 which comes with Windows XP doesnt have a VDONTS component in it so u have to get a copy of cdonts.dll from somewher and install it on ur computer running Windows XP. You can get this component from a system running Windows 2000 Professional or higher

N'Joy...
Heheheheheh

CDONTS sucks!!! JMail rules!!!

Hey you felow programmers,

I've got the same fr#@king problem. I had to install another computer with win2000 pro on it to get it working. :( i put my XP machine with the garbage!!!!

so folks WinXP SUCKS!!!!!

Installed the following from my win 2000 pro

winnt\system32\cdonts.dll
winnt\system32\dllcache\cdonts.dll
winnt\system32\smtp.cdonts.dll

and still no joy. Have I missed something!! windows xp is proving itself to be a pain.

I was able to get it running with WIN XP by simply registering the CDONTS.DLL file using the command:
"regsvr32 cdonts.dll"

Use CDOSYS instead of CDONTS. That's the way to go for future compatibility

It works for me. Thanks to Roger Dilsner.

"regsvr32 cdonts.dll"

ok, I tried the regsvr32 cdonts.dll and all I get is:
LoadLibrary("cdonts.dll")failed - The specified module could not be found.

What am I doing wrong...please...help...

I got the same error as Pete when I tried the regsvr32 cdonts.dll: LoadLibrary("cdonts.dll")failed - The specified module could not be found.

I would appreciate it if someone could help.

Hi there,
I installed cdonts.dll on Windows Xp as followed :
regsvr32 cdonts.dll
it worked well and confirmed the installation.
But I still can't send e-mails ? it won't work on Windows Xp although my program works fine on other OS (W NT) any clues ?
Thanks in advance ....

I am sorry, I am new to this and I am having the same problem. So, if somebody could give me the steps to install regsvr32 cdonts.dll...i would greatly appreciate it.
thanx

hi there,

to the peeps who get the error that the module couldnt be found: place the cdonts.dll file in c:\windows\system32\ and try again.

good luck

It is finally working great.

Big thanks to Roger Dilsner who helped me out and was pretty quick reply my messages.

i had the same problem in cdonts here...
where am i supposed to get that dll? i tried finding it in my pc and i found none?

Hey guys, I just got a great email from someone who saw the messages up here and told me how to fix the Windows XP/ CDONTS problem. Here it is:

1st, go and download the DLL at
http://dll.yaroslavl.ru/index.php3?in_search=cdonts

Save it in the windows/system32 folder

Finaly, click the cdonts.dll once and drag it on to the "regsvr32.exe" (in the same windows/system32 folder) and it will register it right away.

That should be it.

Hope that this helps someone out, because I know it helped me!
