Anyone interested in consulting - setting up OWC?

[Shannon]

Hello,

Rather than post and get the inevitable "This question has been
answered 100 times before," I would like to see if anyone is
interested in helping me for a fee.

I am trying to set up OWC on an IIS6 server for development in
standard ASP.

I keep getting the 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3' error, despite manually
registering every DLL known to man.

The question might have ben answered 100 times, but I'll be damned if
I can find it. This has taken hours and hours of my time that I could
be spending actually getting something accomplished. If anyone is
interested, please write me at (e-mail address removed)

We can discuss compensation and set everything up


Thank you

Shannon

where is the error come from, which line of code exactly?

I can save you my exorbitant consulting fees by answering here if you care.
Otherwise I bill out at $325 per 1/2 hour.

If you could make it work in 1/2 hour for $325, and I made $6.50 an
hour, it would be worht it to me ($6.25/hour x 20 hours of
screwing with this > $325).

My setup:

1) Windows Server 2003 Web Edition SP1
2) Office 2003 SP2 installed (Excel 11.6560.6568)
3) IIS v 6.0

What happened so far:

1) Downloaded and installed OWC11 on machine
2) Made an ASP Page calling:

set objChartSpace = Server.CreateObject("OWC.Chart")

3) Got:

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

Server.CreateObject Failed

/testchart.asp, line 2

800401f3

4) Have NOT tried installing .NET and running from that platform, as
it would do no good -- need it in the old ASP.

5) Searched and searched and search; tried different permutations of
the object call, tried regsvr32 owc11.dll, tried to FIND owcMSOWC.dll
(not on computer -- have MSOWCW and MSOWCIW, but no MSOWC); tried
psychic surgery, tried screaming -- nothing will make the damn stuff
work.

I am active in forums where I actually have THE SLIGHTEST CLUE what I
am talking about, and I really hate it when people ask "how do I turn
on my computer" for the 1000th time without reading old posts or even
looking for an answer, but I cannot find any solution for this other
than "manually register owc11.dll" or "manually register msowc.dll."

My other problem is that I am 98% ignorant of IIS -- an "application
pool" is where I throw my CDs when the programs p*#s me off.

If I can JUST get the damnable components registered, I might actually
be able to DO something useful.

THANK YOU, Alvin, for taking the time to read my post, and for any
suggestions you may have.

OWC11 unregistered OWC9 which is why your code fails. I think you want to
create an owc11 object right?. In that case, the syntax is a bit different.
Try

set objChartSpace = Server.CreateObject("OWC11.Chart")
which creates the owc11 chart as opposed to an owc9 chart which is what your
code does.
