Description
I created a very simple "Hello World" ASP component using Delphi 5 Enterprise on my Windows XP Pro machine.

I took the code from the following Oreilly book:
"Developing ASP Components 2nd Edition" by Shelley Powers. ISBN 1-56592-750-8 (pages 642-646)

I was able to create, compile and register the dll with no errors. When I try and access the componet through an asp page on my Windows XP Pro machine I get the following error:

"Invalid Class String". The error is referring to the Server.CreateObject statement.

If I take the exact same dll and install and register it at work on the Windows 2000 server it works perfectly.

What has to be done on a Windows XP Pro machine to make this (or any) ASP component created with Delphi 5 work properly?
