So much for putting a smiley at the end of the sentence. ;-)

Sorry, the first thing I read was that you put it in the wwwroot directory, which was an immediate red flag. I should have read the later part of the post more closely.

Try doing a NEWOBJECT on the foxweb COM server. I'll bet it's something in the Init, like it can't find a file or something. If this is the case, you'll more than likely get a "Classfactory cannot supply requested class" error. Or for that matter, the error page that you get should have some descriptive information. No matter, you need to decouple this thing from FoxISAPI and make sure the COM server is working, then try to get it working through the web. Here's how I'd tackle it:

1. Test in VFP by creating a non-COM object from FoxWeb. Something like

ox=newo('server')

right before the class definition.

2. If that works, compile and NEWO('foxweb.server') on the COM server.

3. If that works, then you're right, something's hosed in your environment. I tend to doubt it, though.

> I followed them and it did not work. Since everyone else follows them and they do work, then I must assume that either a) I have configured my machine in some way as to prevent these normal operations, or b) there is some known issue with Windows 2000.

It ain't b), because I test weekly on Windows 2000. There is the remote chance that the COM server is crashing (this can cause a result of 500). The above steps will help you determine this.
