ImageMagickObject.dll OnStartPage error

[cmcfarling]

I'm using the ImageMagick COM component (v6.3.7) from an ASP page. For troubeshooting purposes I want to isolate the component into a separate process per the instructions here:

How to Isolate a DLL into a Separate Process By Using Component Services
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281335/EN-US/

After setting this up, the following error is returned when when instanciating the object:

Code: Select all

Server object error 'ASP 0193 : 800706be' 
OnStartPage Failed 
/imagefunctions.asp, line 275 
An error occurred in the OnStartPage method of an external object.

Any ideas as to why this is happening? I've done the same procedure with other 3rd party COM components and have had no problems.

I've had read that the OnStartPage and OnEndPage methods for a component are deprecated as of Windows 2000. Does the latest version of the ImageMagickObject.dll still use these methods or has it not been updated much sinc 6.3.7? Is the ImageMagickObject.dll still being actively delevolped and maintained even?
