System.Web.Mail problem - Visual Basic .NET

Goran Djuranovic

Hi all,
When sending mail from within a windows service I get this exception:
"The specified procedure could not be found"
at System.RuntimeT ype.CreateInsta nceImpl(Boolean publicOnly)
at System.Activato r.CreateInstanc e(Type type, Boolean nonPublic)
at System.Web.Mail .CdoSysHelper.S end(MailMessage message)
at System.Web.Mail .SmtpMail.Send( MailMessage message)

It works fine on my development box, but not my other box. Development box is WinXP Pro SP2, "other" box is WinXP Pro SP1.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Goran

Hi Goran,

System.Web.Mail from .NET 1.1 internally uses CDOSYS to send mail. We need
to first verify that whether CDOSYS works or not.

Let's create a simple VBScript file, name it as "SendCdosysMail .vbs":

VFrom=WScript.A rguments(0)
VTo=WScript.Arg uments(1)
VSubject=WScrip t.Arguments(2)
VBody=WScript.A rguments(3)
VSMTPServer=WSc ript.Arguments( 4)

Set objMessage = CreateObject("C DO.Message")
objMessage.Subj ect = VSubject
objMessage.Send er = VFrom
objMessage.To = VTo
objMessage.Text Body = VBody
objMessage.Conf iguration.Field s.Item("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/confi
guration/sendusing") = 2

objMessage.Conf iguration.Field s.Item("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/confi
guration/smtpserver") = VSMTPServer

objMessage.Conf iguration.Field s.Item("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/confi
guration/smtpserverport" ) = 25
objMessage.Conf iguration.Field s.Update

objMessage.Send
wscript.echo "Message sent"

Then try to run this script on your "other box" with following command:

cscript.exe SendCdosysMail. vbs "fr**@email.com " "to@email.c om"
"subject" "body" "localhost"

Please tell me the result or exact error message it displays.

From several reported cases of this error message, it seems related to
corrupt MDAC installation; you may need to repair or reinstall MDAC:

By the way, if you're using .NET 2.0, it's recommended to use
System.Net.Mail ; for more info, please refer to

Hi Walter,
My SMTP service was messed up. I figured out, after a number of unsuccessful
tries of re-installation of SMTP service (I was getting some weird COM error
messages), I would "repair" Windows. After that I re-installed SMTP service
successfully, and everything worked fine. I did try running your script
afterwards and it worked fine.

Thanks
Goran

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
