ASP in IIS 5.0 errors caused by COM+ failure

[Chad B]

G'day,

I am having trouble loading my local .asp files in IE 6
using http://localhost

It is saying a HTTP 500 server error.
I have found a KB article here in Microsoft support
showing a troubleshoot for it.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;309051

I try to go through the processes listed, but am stuck at
No. 2 where I cannot expand 'My Computer' in Component
Services, which leads me to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-
US;301919

I follow the procedure to remove COM3 from the registry.
However when going through the Add/Remove Windows
Components installation, it fails to reinstall the COM+
components.

It gives the error:


Sub-component COM+ raised an exception while processing
the OC_COMPLETE_INSTALLATION setup message.

d:\nt\com\com1x\src\complussetup\comsetup\csetuputil.cpp
(line 3406)

Error Code = 0x8007007f

The specified procedure could not be found.

Failed to load the library 'C:\WINDOWS\System32
\comuid.dll'.



Does anyone know the problem? And more importantly how to
workaround it?

Thanks

Chad

Do the following steps.
Uninstall IIS using Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs).
Now do this to restore the system to the default settings.
insert the winxp cd in the cd drive and at a dos prompt type this command

sfc /scannow

this will check for the integrity of the files and then restore the files to the original state.
now go back to control panel and reselect IIS for installation and let the installation complete.
Check if this solves the problem.
