I have trouble using the FileSystemObject.
I have tried a lot of samplecodes just to se if it will work.
It worked a couple of times in the beginning, now I can't get it to work 
anymore.
I have a XP professional OS and IIS 5
Any ideas what could be wrong ?

this simple code should just crate a folder.
The browser just won't stop, nothing is happening.

<%
Sub CreateFolder
Dim fso, fldr
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fldr = fso.CreateFolder("E:\HTML\www\MyTest")
Response.Write "Created folder: " & fldr.Name
End Sub

CreateFolder
%>

All the oter samplecodes behave similar.
No error msg. just blank white page.
Can it have something with permission settings ?
Can anyone please help me..
I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? if so, disable "Script Blocking" and
reboot.

"Script Blocking" blocks access to a number of methods of the FSO, since
these are used by various types of viruses...

Hello Terje Dahl,

I tried the same code, and the response was immediate. Only error I saw is, if the foldername prior to the last foldername in the
path hierarchy deosnt exist it would result in error. Else it is working fine. I would suggest you to check the following 

if
1) IIS works fine,
2) A simple ASP page is getting browsed. (just a <%response.write "TEST"%> will do)
3) Try enableing the debuging options in the Browser and see.
4) When tried to open http://localhost it should open up the http://localhost/localstart.asp on yor browser, which means the ASP
pages are working fine. The path of localstart.asp is c:/inetpub/wwwroot/localstart.asp

Let us know if it helps.

Cheers!!!

Thanks a lot!

After turning off "Script Blocking" the asp code worked like it's supposed 
to.

Thanks again!

1. Make sure default error handling is on, so you are seeing any errors on 
your page, i.e. type "on error goto 0" before your code.

2. I've had trouble with Norton Antivirus (NAV), too. We use Professional, 
and it is constantly messing with any code that writes to disk, including 
saving Excel workbooks to disk from ASP. This is the case regardless of 
the NAV options I have selected. To get around this, try creating an 
ActiveX DLL with a function that performs the same task. For example, the 
FileSystemObject.Write method that fails when running from ASP may run 
fine from inside a DLL.

3. Uninstall Norton Antivirus - not a great option. Simply turning off 
script blocking is the first thing to try, as Ken S. mentioned, but I have 
run into cases where only uninstalling it would remedy the problem. Even 
with every option disabled, I still had the problem if it was installed.
