[Aspdns-users] ASPDNS Errors

[Ricardo P. <rp...@ap...>]

hey eric,

i was getting the same error and was going nutz.  i read your post as i was
looking for the same answer when it struck me.  i took a look at the source
code and followed the logic to see what may cause the error.  it turns out
that you have to copy the dnscmd.exe file into the directory where the .dll
is.  i thought i had done that before but it turns out that i didn't do
that.  make sure that the dnscmd.exe file is in the same directory that the
Component Services Application points to.  i'm sure you know what i'm
talking about but for the benefit of other people, here are the
instructions:

(by the way, this is for Win2K folks)

- open the Component Services MMC by going to START -> PROGRAMS -> ADMIN.
TOOLS -> Component Services
- next, navigate down the tree till you find the application where your
component is
- follow the tree down until you get to the Components folder under the
application
- there you should find ASPDns.ManageServer, ASPDns.RRecord, etc.
- Right-click on one of those components (ASPDns.ManageServer will do fine)
- There underneath the description box is the location of the ASPDns.dll
component.
- SOLUTION: dnscmd.exe must be in THAT same directory

it worked for me...it should work for you too.
