ASP giving error when i try to use Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
I have a server computer with Windows 2008, IIS7 and Sharepoint. I have ASP page inside Sharepoint. I want to read XML file. I have find nice manuals on the internet how to do it. My problem is, that after i put first line of the code i get error message (unknown error).
for example this working: <%Response.Write(now())%>
BUT THIS NOT WORKING: <%Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Micro
What i tryed:
1.Istalled msxml3.msi (msxml3.dll)
2.Installed XMLinst.exe
3.change object type to Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0 from Microsoft.XMLDOM
i getting the same error message. Can anybody help me what is missing from my system or how to make it work????

this should be the full code:
<%
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
Set objLst = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
Set objHdl = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
objXML.async = False
objXML.Load (Server.MapPath("linx.xml"))
Set objLst = objXML.getElementsByTagName("mainmenu")
menuitemcount = objLst.length
%>
<h1>Testurl:<h1>
<%
For i = 0 To (menuitemcount 1)
Set objHdl = objLst.item(i)
Response.Write("<a href=""" & _
objHdl.childNodes(1).childNodes(0).text & _
""">" & objHdl.childNodes(0).text & _
"</a><br>")
Next
%>

pls, provide linx.xml example
Try
Set objXML = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDo
Or by Version
Set objXML = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDo
Set objXML = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDo
Set objXML = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDo
Set objXML = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDo
Or by Version
Set objXML = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDo
Set objXML = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDo
Set objXML = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDo
Also you do not need the lines:
Set objLst = Server.CreateObject("Micro
Set objHdl = Server.CreateObject("Micro
You should remove them espacially because you are not destroying these objects before creating new ones with
Set objLst = objXML.getElementsByTagNam
Set objHdl = objLst.item(i)
Best practice als would be to destroy each object (Set objABC = Nothing) before creating a new one even if it is the same object variable! Example:
For i = 1 To 3
Set objABC = objItem(i)
Response.Write objABC.Text
Set objABC = Nothing
Next
Set objLst = Server.CreateObject("Micro
Set objHdl = Server.CreateObject("Micro

i getting Sharepoint error. there is no info about line or error code. i dont know how to get it because i am new in ASP
ASKER
Ok, so i think i have problem with the XML dll. Andrei, i have to reinstall IIS component? I haven's installed anything so far
Please provide details of the sharepoint error; prt. screen if no other info is available
You don't have to reinstall anything in IIS
Other aspect, where is that ASP page hosted? The corresponding app pool for that site is the same as for the sharepoint site?

it is inside sharepoint
sharepoint address: http://merkur/_layouts/plautwelcome/pwelcome.aspx
physical address: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAY
without that code the page is working correctly.

I am not sure if i have installed everything what i need for working with XML. it seems that IIS cant handle the Server.Createobject() metod...
ASKER
I installed it, but it doesn't work either. I will try to host the page on the different site and i will post the result.

Maybe you also have to activate ASP 3.0 in order to run classic ASP and .asp extension.
You have to add this as role of the server in server-manager under control panel.
