Can't create owc11.chartspace on 64 bit Windows Server 2003 sp2

[John Doe]

Hello,

We have a classic ASP app which is being ported to a new 64 bit server
running Windows Server 2003 sp2. The existing app has owc11 installed and
runs fine under Windows 2000 32 bit version.

A simple page containing the following vbscript fails with '800a01ad' cannot
create activex object.

Dim chart
Set chart = Server.CreateObject("OWC11.ChartSpace")


Has anyone been able to get owc11 to run on a 64 bit server?

Thanks in advance

I don't have any technical details, I am going to confirm this next week by
testing on a 64 bit platform again.

All,

The problem was resolved by configuring IIS to run in 32 bit mode and
configuring ASP .Net Framework 2.0 to run in 32 bit mode. Root cause is that
OWC is a 32 bit ActiveX and cannot run under 64 bit IIS.
Refer to the following KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435

I don't have any technical details, I am going to confirm this next week by
testing on a 64 bit platform again.
