Part IV: Preparing to Use MTS with IIS

Step 1

Before you can use MTS with Internet Information Server, you have to change an IIS registry setting to allow IIS to handle out-of-process ActiveX components.

NOTE: Making incorrect changes to the system registry can result in serious problems. Make the following changes carefully!

Changes to the IIS system registry are made through the registry editor. Start the editor by running Regedit from the command line in Windows.

Inside the registry, locate the following entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet  \Services   \W3SVC    \ASP     \Parameters      \AllowOutOfProcCmpnts 

The AllowOutOfProcCmpnts key is normally set to 0, which prevents IIS from using out-of-process components such as those in MTS. Double-click this key, and change its value to 1. This allows IIS to work with components in MTS.
