Trying to use CDONTS on XP to send e-mail

I am trying to use CDONTS to send emails without using outlook etc.

When I try to instantiate the object I get the following:
Runtime Error '-2147024770 (8007007e)':
Automation error
The specified module could not be found

from this code:
Dim objNewMail As Object
Set objNewMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

I have tried to unregister the CDONTS.DLL to try and re-register it but get the following error:
Loadlibrary("C:\windows\system32\cdonts.dll") failed. The specified module could not be found

Can anyone help me here?

I am not sure, but I think that you need CDO.dll and GAPI32.DLL

You can get a copy of it here

and then in a dos prompt type

regsvr32 C:\windows\SYSTEM32\cdonts.dll

I am having trouble unregistering the cdonts.dll and then re-registering it....

I have also tried the CDOSYS method and whilst the code runs, I get no mail received. Do I have to configure anything?
