ASP Returns Error 8002801d "Library Not Registered"

TOPIC

When browsing an Active Server Pages (ASP) page a "Server object error 'ASP 0177': 8002801d... Server.CreateObject Failed... Library not registered..." is returned within the context of lines referencing Currency Server objects.

DISCUSSION

The "Library not registered" error indicates that there is a problem with the registry information for the Currency Server object. This condition is usually caused by inaccessible or missing registry data.

Warning - Please read the following article before proceeding:

• 3-151 - Editing the Windows Registry

To identify the cause of this problem run Regedt32 and make sure that the Everyone group has Read permissions to the following key and child keys:

• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6BA90D28-0D19-11D2-92A5-00AA00AD2D73}

Granting those rights, if not already assigned (or if recently revoked), usually solves the issue.

Additionally, verify that the following key:

• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6BA90D28-0D19-11D2-92A5-00AA00AD2D73}\CurrencyServerVersion\0\win32\(Default)

contains the installation path of the "CURNCSRV.DLL" file. CurrencyServerVersion is the major version number (e.g. 4.0). The unique class identifier (CLSID) "{6BA90D28-0D19-11D2-92A5-00AA00AD2D73}" is used by all versions of Currency Server.

If the above information is missing, it can be restored by opening a command prompt and entering the following command (edit the installation path to reflect your installation if necessary):

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Cloanto\Currency Server\CURNCSRV.DLL"
