Error using FileSystemObject

[Guest]

Hello all,
I am working on an application that use the FileSystemObject to check if
a file exists. This works fine on my machine, but when i moved the
application to the webserver and tried to access it from a different machine,
i get this error. Is there a workaround?

"ActiveX component cannot create object: scripting.FileSystemObject"

this is the part of the code, its an ASP page

<script language="vbscript">
dim fs
set fs=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if(fs.FileExists("F:\inetsrv\wwwroot\scripts\file1.txt"))=true then
'code
else
'code
end if
-
-
</script>

Thanks

Type in Start, Run:

regsvr32 scrrun.dll

If that does not help, reinstall Windows Script 5.6 in your system.

Unfortunately, this is a client side problem afaik. Either scripting is not
installed properly or there are some problems initiating the
FileSystemObject in those machines.
