You receive "The requested resource is in use." error message when browsing ASP pages

From time to time, you will get this error msgs when browsing ASP pages on both IIS 5 and IIS 6. In IIS 5, you might be able to fix it with this kb Cache ISAPI Application Option Causes ASP to Return Error. However, I have seen many times that this KB didn't solve the problem and you continue to get the above error msgs. Especially with IIS 6. The possible cause for this is vbscript.dll reference in registry got messed up and you need to re-register it. Try - regsvr32 %windir%/system32/vbscript.dll.

Thanks, worked for me.
MSDN was pretty useless in this case.

re-registering vbscript didn't work for me but this did:
regsrv32 jscript.dll

Probably because I use server side Jscript in my asp scripts.

Yes, you need JSCRIPT.DLL - thanks for the update.

What a relief! There are some many useless links on MS and other ASP/IIS sites that just couldn't cut it. Thanks so much for your tip.

worked perfectly for me. Thanks for the quick fix!

Many Many Many Thanks dude.

I found that many times when installing a new security update or service pack, the installer fails to copy files.
I have been installed service pack 1 for windows server 2003, but it was deleted the old VBSCRIPT.DLL and didnt copy the new VBSCRIPT.DLL . I manually copied the file and registered it.
now it is working.

# Jesse Hauserman said on 08 November, 2006 08:59 AM
I get it only when browsing ASP pages on one specific server. I am the only one getting this error and it does not occur when browsing ASP pages on other servers. I tried regsvr32 on my PC to no avail. Does it need to be done on the server?
