Missing: Microsoft ActiveServer Pages Object Library
In order to maintain and occasionally modify some vb6 com plus components, I decided to move everything from an old and unreliable 32 bit system to a new 64 bts system. I have installed Visual Studio 6 (vb6 and vc++ features) on a 64 bts windows 10 home.
I followed the instructions on
https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1191047/%2FArticles%2F1191047%2FInstall-Visual-Studio-on-Windows
and the installation was completed successfully.
I activated iis and classic ASP feature on windows 10.
The problem is that when I attempt to create a com plus component the “Microsoft Active Server Pages Object Library” reference does not exists under the project / references in visual basic.
I searched the web and I found some old links showing that some people had such issue but I could never find a solution to the mentioned problem.
Could someone tell me please why the “Microsoft Active Server Pages Object Library” does not exists in visual basic 6 project / references and how could I resolve this issue?
Thank you in advance,

Please give more details about the steps you took when you said: "The problem is that when I attempt to create a com plus component..." How are you "attempting" to create a "COM+ component", specifically?

Please try to browse for the Microsoft Active Server Pages Object Library using the References Browse... button. The default location for the library is:
C:windowssystem32inetsrvasp.dll
The reference that you are suggesting is exactly the reference that I said does not exist in my vb6 project on 64 bits system. That is the reference that I am missing and I don't know how to resolve it. The path C:windowssystem32inetsrv.asp.dll which you wrote does not exist. If you meant C:windowssystem32inetsrvasp.dll it exists on my computer but as I said the reference does not exists.

So thank you for letting me to know that the reference was what I was supposed to browse manually to be added to the list. I never had to add a reference manually on my previous system.

I am happy that I got access to the Microsoft Active Server Pages Library. Now when I click the file tab / make projectName.dll on top menu of my vb6 project I get the error msg: Cannot access the system registry. Could someone tell me why I cannot make my project's dll? Thank you

You should accept the answer and make a new question. Otherwise, many questions would lack scope and people who help never would be properly awarded because some issues, once solved, allow other issues to surface.

@Lankymart: I would say that's a very accurate summary. In turn, I would agree with you that there are going to be downstream 32-bit/64-bit dependency issues that also will need to be resolved. I don't think anyone could fix the OP's entire prospect of downstream issues with a single answer.

Hi: I create vb6 activeX dll project. then on top menu I click project tab / references in order to see the list of references to create a reference to Com+ Service Type Library and to the Microsoft Active Server Pages Library. While the reference to Com+ Service Type Library exists in the list of references and I can choose it, I cannot see and I cannot choose a reference to Microsft Active Server Pages Object Library because the library does not exist in the list of references. Why the “Microsft Active Server Pages Object Library” does not exists? And how could I resolve this problem?
