PHP 4.0 Bug #9001: Unexpected error message

From: sjrijk@yahoo.com Operating system: Win 2000 / IIS 5.0 PHP version: 4.0.3pl1 PHP Bug Type: COM related Bug description: Unexpected error message When the following commands are executed: $word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate Word"); the following error appears: Warning: Unable to obtain IDispatch interface for CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}: Server execution failed in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line 14 Unable to instantiate Word This a very odd error, because the Task Manager shows that PHP has executed the Word application (as winword.exe) w/o any problem. What's even more odd, the above used to work w/o any problems, although there have not been any changes in configuration. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9001&edit=1
