Error starting project

When I'm trying to start a new VB.Net Windows application I'm getting an
error that the "Automation server can create object". The project is created
but without a form. When I try to add a form I get the same error. Can anyone
help me out with this, it's somewhat slowing me down in learning .Net and is
becoming frustrating.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi Mole
There may be a problem with the installed version of the Windows Scripting
component. See KB323885.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q323885

Sometimes there are problems with different versions of MSXML being
registered on the machine. The VS.NET start page uses the msxml3 object to
render content in the start page. There have been a few known issues where
installs of different versions (there are a few!) of the msxml object will
stomp on the previously installed versions (link). Here is how I have
fixed it on some machines:
Bring up a command prompt (cmd.exe)
in the command prompt “cd c:\windows\system32� (no quotes)
Then “xmlinst –u�
“regsvr32 msxml3.dll�
Close cmd prompt

Sometimes this is caused by aggressive anti-virus software that blocks the
scripting components from launching. I talk about this extensively here.
"You must be connected to the internet to use this feature."

The new start page will simply be polling it's online content from RSS
feeds, but the old page polls a more proprietary XML standard down from
MSDN servers to populate with content. The start page simply does a
transform of the XML into the standard it prefers. We connect to this XML
by using the

Try clearing your internet cache.

Try changing your selected help filter and re-loading the page.

Verify, with your internet connection you can connect to this page and see
the XML there.

you can't, then there is an issue with your internet connect or
firewall/proxy settings.

Maybe your scripting runtime installation is corrupted.

Download and install this package:

Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP

That worked. Thanks a million I've been struggling with that for over a week.
Now I can start learning .Net so I can start doing more answering on this
newsgroup instead of just asking!

Thanks again
Mole
