When you try to view a Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) Web page that is hosted on Microsoft IIS 5.0 or IIS 6.0, you may receive one of the following error message:

"The requested resource is in use"

"HTTP 500: Internal Server Error"

"Error message 2: RPC server is unavailable"

This issue may occur if one or more of the following files is not registered correctly:

  • Asp.dll

  • Vbscript.dll

  • Jscript.dll

  • Oleaut.dll

To resolve this issue, register these files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll, and then click OK.

  2. Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll, and then click OK.

    Note: If the ASP Web page does not contain Jscript code, go to step 5.

  3. Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\jscript.dll, and then click OK.

  4. Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\oleaut.dll, and then click OK.

  5. Click Start, click Run, type iisreset, and then click OK.
