Problem while adding .aspx pages in VS.NET

[Arda]

Hi,

I'm using VS.NET 2003 on Server 2003 for development purposes. I haven't had time to work on anything in about a week and went to add another file to my WebApp in C#.NET and got the error "Automation Server Can't Create Object". Looked around multiple places and found that cause was Windows Script, but the versions available will not work on Server 2003.

When I repair my Windows 2003 it started to give;

AppName: devenv.exe AppVer: 7.10.3077.0 ModName: urlmon.dll
ModVer: 6.0.2800.1400 Offset: 00004a8f

An unhandled exception has been caught by the VSW exception filter.

I can add an HTML page successfully. There's no response to sending the error message to Microsoft. This is really frustrating as everything was working perfectly before 2-3 weeks ago.

Any help would be great.

Hi Arda,

From your description, the error "Automation Server Can't Create Object"
you encountered in VS.NET did seems that the script engine on your system
has been corrupted. Also, I've found that the existing WScript install
package 5.6 is unable to work on Windows 2003 server. And I doubt that the
OS's repair can help recover the corruption. Currently, I'm consulting some
other experts on this and I'll update you as soon as I've any new findings.

In addition, one means you can try is download the Windows Script 5.6
install package and try checking the items in it and
compare with those on your system to see whether you can find any which
have been corrupted. Thanks.

Hi Steven,

First of all thanks for your kind reply.

I'm copying the existing .aspx files and pasting them into VS.NET and working like that, however it is really annoying.

I'm thinking of formatting the system and re-installing everything. Also this time I'm planning to install Whidbey. However, I'll be waiting your answer for a week...

Hi Arda,

Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long time. After some furthe
consulting, it seems that there is no such script pack for WIN2K3 box now.
The only means will be manually check the potential damaged files and
repair it one by one. But I think that'll be to complex and inconvenient
for us. Have you reinstalled the machine or have you got any progress on
your side? Any way, since it's a limitation of the W2K box, I apologize for
any inconvenience bing to you.
