This issue is most commonly caused by a problem with FileUp when installed in COM+ in some configurations.

The FileUpSE installer presents the user with an option of installing FileUp in COM+. If you do not have a need for using FileUp in COM+ and have installed it there, removing it from COM+ and registering it as a standard COM component should eliminate this error.

How do I know if I need FileUp in COM+?

Most of our customers do not put FileUp in COM+. FileUp is most commonly used in COM+ when it is desired to perform transactional uploads or when it is desired to isolate FileUp from other applications. If you determine that you do not require FileUp in COM+, proceed with the following instructions.

Removing FileUp from COM+

To remove FileUp from COM+ and register it as a COM component:

1. Stop IIS

At a command prompt, run iisreset /stop.

2. Remove FileUp from COM+

This can be done automatically or manually:

• Automatic removal:
  1. In Windows Explorer, go to the FileUp program folder
     ("C:\Program Files\SoftArtisans\FileUp")
  2. Double-click on the file "SAFileUpTXUnInstall.vbs".

• Manual Removal:
  1. Open the "Component Services" located via the Control Panel/Administrative Tools.
  2. Navigate to the FileUp Package: Component Services > Computers > My Computer > COM+ Applications > FileUp
  3. Right-click FileUp. Select Delete.

3. Register safileup.dll

1. At the command prompt, navigate to the directory containing the dll. If it is in the default location, you would run: cd \Program Files\Softartisans\FileUp
2. Then, run regsvr32 safileup.dll to register the FileUp dll.

4. Restart the webserver

At a command prompt, run iisreset /start.

5. Test FileUp to ensure it has been properly configured
