Hello
Having, on a local development machine, successfully configured DCOMCNFG to allow an ASP.NET application to launch a Microsoft Word document using COM Interop, I am now experiencing problems with the configuration on a network test server.
The problem is that when clicking the “Launch Word Document” button from within my ASP.NET application, the application hangs. The test machine is running Windows Server 2003 with SP 2.
In the Security -> Launch and Activation Permission tab I’ve granted full permissions to the following accounts:
Aspnet_wp
Everyone
Interactive
Network
Network Service
Self
System
I’ve done the same in the Security -> Access Permission tab. I’ve also tried the Identity as both “The launching user” and “The interactive user”. I’ve followed every suggestion in the following article (which I found useful when successfully configuring my development machine): http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfxbcl/thread/006cbbac-101a-40ea-ae16-d59a7a2da8b1
Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions as to how to solve this problem will be gratefully received.
Cheers
Alan
