I have a strange situation and I am unable to find a solution for this. I am working on a publically accessible Classic ASP site. I don't have access to the server or IIS but I have FTP access to it.

Now I want to reference a COM dll (not a .Net dll) to one of the asp pages. And then use it to create objects like:

Server.CreateObject(...)

I know about using RegSvr32 to register the dll or placing it into C:\Windows\system32, but I am unable to do so as I don't have access to the server.

I tried to place the dll with the asp file but it did not work.

Is there any other way to make it work?

  • All you can do is contact your server tech support and ask them to install the component. If it's shared hosting there may be something which does the same job already installed, eg a lot of Classic ASP packages come with Persits ASPUpload – John Aug 23 '13 at 14:59

I understand the situation, and have been there before.

However, there is no way (that I am aware of) to get it done that isn't related to a security/setup flaw that would make me want to change my hosting provider.
