CDONTS x CDOSYS - Here is the solution

[globodata]

I don´t know anything about ASP, anything about components, but I was having a lot of problems with my costumers because their scripts were using CDONTS what was supposed not to be accepted by Windows 2003.

I´VE REALIZED THAT´S NOT TRUE. The only thing is that Windows 2003 doesn´t have it installed as default, but it´s pretty simple to do :

01. Get the CDONTS dll - you can get it here : http://homepage.ntlworld.com/markltaylor/Files/cdonts.zip

02. copy cdonts.dll to the folder windows/system32

03. To register CDONTS, run dialog box, type cmd, and then click OK.
At the command prompt, change to the windows/system32 directory, and then type:

regsvr32 cdonts.dll

If the process is successful, the following message displays:
DllRegisterServer in cdonts.dll succeeded.

That´s it. You don´t have to worry about CDONTS, CDOSYS and all this mess. Both of them will work.

PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE SOLUTIONS FOR THIS KIND OF COMMOM ISSUES, POST THEM. FOR SURE IT WILL BE WORTH FOR ANYBODY AND WE´LL NOT HAVE TO WASTE TIME.

Great work - a pity not all who have solutions to problems do the same...

Microsoft had disabled the CDONTs on Win2k3

You should use the CDOSYS

Microsoft had not disabled, CDONTS just not come installed as default, you can installed it, though
