PRB: WebClasses Server Application or Application Defined Error

• Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 6.0
• Microsoft Internet Information Server versions 3.0, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

After deploying a WebClass project, attempting to run it on the server produces one of the following error messages:

"Server Application Error"

The server has encountered an error while loading an application during the processing of your request. Please refer to the event log for more detailed information.

Please contact the server administrator for assistance.

-or-

"your_application" error '800a9c68'
Application-defined or object-defined error
/your_vdir/your_app.asp, line 13


Line 13: Application("~WC~WebClassManager").ProcessNoStateWebClass "PROGID.CLASSID", _Server, _ Application, _ Session, _ Request, _ Response

CAUSE

Here are two possible causes for this error:

• The Package and Deployment wizard does not create the virtual directory and application for you.



-or-

• The installation and registration of the necessary run-time files failed.

RESOLUTION

Use either of the following:

• Re-create the virtual directory in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and create it as an Application.

-or-




• The first time you are deploying a Visual Basic Internet application to a Web server, it is recommended that you create a Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) Standard Setup Package instead of a PDW Internet Package for your application. The WebClass requires that the Visual Basic 6.0 run-time and other system files on the server be updated, and the standard setup ensures that these files are present on the server. Once you have updated these files, restart the server and try the deployment again.

   mswcrun.dll     version 6.00.8169    (WebClass run-time)
   msvbvm60.dll    version 6.00.8176    (Visual Basic run-time)
   oleaut32.dll    version 2.30.4261
   olepro32.dll    version 5.0.4261
   asycfilt.dll    version 2.30.4261
   comcat.dll      version 4.71 

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
