Odd "Invalid class string" error

[verb13]

In an asp page in localhost I have this:
Set x = Server.CreateOb ject("Scripting .Dictionary")
And I get this error: Invalid class string
If I omit Server like this:
Set x = Server.CreateOb ject("Scripting .Dictionary")
I get this error: ActiveX component can't create object:
'Scripting.Dict ionary'

In the same asp page this works fine:
Set conn = Server.CreateOb ject("ADODB.Con nection")

In a Visual Basic application this works fine, too:
Set x = CreateObject("S cripting.Dictio nary")

I reinstalled VB without success. Why do I get "Invalid class string"
in the first case?

Dim sObject
sObject = "Scripting.Dict ionary"
On Error Resume Next
If IsObject(Create Object(sObject) ) Then
Response.Write "Creation of object [ " & sObject & " ] was successful"
Set sObject = Nothing
'// Your code here
Else
'// Woops, somethings wrong
Response.Write "Sorry, " & sObject & " is not available on this server."
& _
"Confirm the required files for this class are
present and registered."
End If
