I am developing a project in VB6.<br />
<br />
The project has a reference to msxml3.dll.<br />

I am declaring at module level:<br />
Dim serverHTTP As New MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP <br />

Now in one function when I first access server<a href="HTTP" rel="ugc">HTTP</a>:<br />
serverHTTP.setTimeouts resolveTimeout, connectTimeout, sendTimeout, receiveTimeout<br />
<br />
at this point, the code tries to create an object of ServerXMLHTTP.<br />
<br />
I get a runtime error at this line:<br />
ERROR:-2147221231 Automation error<br />
<br />
This error only comes when I install and run my program in Windows 98.<br />
I have verified that msxml3 exists in Windows system directory, and also registered it manually.<br />

How to solve this problem?

ServerXMLHTTP object gives Automation error in VB6

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
