ASP error CreateObject("Word.Application") failed

[MaxiWheat]

Hi,

I am using a software that uses MS Word to create PDF files. When I try
to run the sample code (ASP 3.0), I get an error on this statement :

Set oWord = Server.CreateObject("Word.Application")

That error says :
The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions.
Access is denied to this object.

I already searched for the error occuring in ASP, and found articles
telling to set Security for Microsoft Word Document in DComcnfg, Give
the user IUSR_MachineName the permissions to Access the COM object.

But... the error still occurs, can someone help me ? Am I missing
something ? Please don't leave this message unanswered.

Is MS-Word installed and accessible (by ASP) on the server?
