  Thank you for the article... I am now running cdonts on my 2003 server. Excellent! <br />
  The path to register this dll on the tutorial is incorrect though. It is listed as <br />
  c:\winnt\system32cdonts.dll" when the directory is actually<br />
  c:\windows\system32\cdonts.dll in Enterprise 2003 server. Just though you should know!

  I am getting a LoadLibrary("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cddonts.dll") failed - The specified module could not be found.<br />
  <br />
  I know the path is correct, as I even used the browse button to make sure it wasn't a mistake on my part.<br />
  <br />
  Any ideas?<br />

  You probably miss GAPI32.DLL (needed by newer Versions of cdonts.dll).<br />
  <br />
  Can copy it from XP, etc.

  Hi... Thanks for the post. It worked for me. For others who wants to install cdonts on windows2003 please make sure that you will use the path according to base directory.<br />
  <br />
  Mostly found<br />
  <br />
  regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\cdonts.dll<br />
  <br />

  This worked fine for me.<br />
  I ran into an additional problem: after I had followed all the steps I got this error message from my browser<br />
  <br />
  "Server object error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005'" and something about permission errors.<br />
  <br />
  this site here details how to fix it<br />
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315454.<br />
  Ignore the bit about frontpage and scroll down to 'resolution'.<br />
  <br />
  I'm not sure about the wisdom of giving eveybody permissions, but I couldn't find any other user that would make it work.

  Having spent ages looking for a way to make javascript work with CDOSYS and being told CDONTS doesn't work with W2K3 I finally get some help - but remember to turn on the smtp server which is the step I missed 4 days ago!

  CDONTS is designed for window 2000. Use CDOSYS for window 2003 instead.<br />
  <br />
  Make sure you turn on and configure the SMTP first<br />
  <br />
  The code below is for pure ASP. <br />
  <br />
  Set objMail = CreateObject("CDOSYS.message")<br />
  objMail.From = "[email protected]"<br />
  objMail.To = "[email protected]"<br />
  objMail.Subject = "Window 2003 environment"<br />
  objMail.HTMLBody = "CalState9"<br />
  objMail.Send<br />
  Set objMail = Nothing<br />
  <br />
  For .Net environment<br />
  Imports System.Web.Mail<br />
  <br />
  Dim msgMail As MailMessage = New MailMessage<br />
  <br />
  msgMail.To = "[email protected]"<br />
  msgMail.From = "[email protected]"<br />
  msgMail.Subject = "Window 2003 environment"<br />
  <br />
  msgMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html<br />
  Dim strBody As String = "<b>CalState9</b>"<br />
  msgMail.Body = strBody<br />
  <br />
  SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "your mail server"<br />
  SmtpMail.Send(msgMail)<br />
  <br />

  Hello,<br />
  <br />
  Thanks for the tip. Anyway, I'm facing a problem installing CDONTS on my server.<br />
  <br />
  When I run "regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\cdonts.dll >> ENTER" I get the following:<br />
  <br />
  - first: I get a "DllRegisterServer in C:\WINDOWS\system32\cdonts.dll succeeded." message<br />
  <br />
  - after the first message: I get an error message "LoadLibrary(">>") failed - The specified module could not be found."<br />
  <br />
  Can anybody help me on this ?

  Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'<br />
  Permission denied <br />
  <br />
  add the IIS_WPG group to your default smtp security.

  LoadLibrary(">>") error. <br />
  <br />
  Copy cdont.dll to C:WINDOWS\system32\<br />
  <br />
  then in cmd prompt cd to the above path and just type regsvr32 cdonts.dll should successfully register the DLL

  For MS Server Standard 2003 R1<br />
  in regedit it must be typed like this or it will fail out. If you have not added the cdonts.dll from the top of this page do it before proceeding with the regedit.<br />
  <br />
  regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\cdonts.dll

  Murlidhar the remote server you are trying to send to may not be accepting connections from your SMTP.. have you tried the telnet test to send an email from your server command prompt. <br />
  <br />
  happy to help Irinel !!!!<br />
