ActiveX/ASP deployment Issue: registry access denied

OS              Win XP Pro

ActiveX.dll     VB6

Called from     ASP page

 

Everything worked on the original PC.

After Web App and DLL were moved to a different workstation, it doesn’t work. I ran the Registry Monitor and determined that the access is denied: the key cannot be opened. So, an object is created and DDL is called…

 

Probably something is missing in COM+/DCOM permissions, but I don’t want to mess with something I’m not that familiar…

 

Does anyone know why registered by regsvr32 ActiveX DLL  being handled by dllhost.exe when called from the ASP page cannot read registry settings?

 

Please help!

I guess, I'll reply to my-self just for all of the viewers who didn’t reply and future ones...

It was just a setting in IIS for this web.app on the Directory Security tab. I replaced Anonymous access (defaulted to IUSR_MachineName) to Integrated Windows authentication.

It did it. Now it reads the Redistry just like a file...
