Err Msg: Error 'ASP 0115' Unexpected Error. A Trappable Error Occurred in an External Object

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Web Administration tool to create an expiration policy, you may receive the following error saving the change:

error 'ASP 0115'
Unexpected error
<path to asp file>
A trappable error occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue running.
In some cases, the browser may stop responding or one or more frames may become disabled (grayed out).

NOTE: This ONLY occurs on the addition of the FIRST expiration policy. If the computer is rebooted, the expiration policy is in place, and the Web Administration tool will allow subsequent policies to be added.


WORKAROUND

Create the first expiration policy using the Microsoft Management Console.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0.
