This article was previously published under Q191148



SYMPTOMS
During a Copy Web operation, Visual InterDev displays the following error:

Registering server components returned the following error: "Cannot register server component on the master Web server. An HTTP error occurred. The server could not complete your request. Contact your Internet service provider or Web server administrator to make sure that the server has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed, and that the Web application exists on that server." Do you want to continue registering server components?"

This Error occurs when the following is true:
 * The Web project being copied contains a server component.
 * The Register Server Components option is selected.
 * The Web project is being copied to a non-Microsoft Web server.



CAUSE
The Register Server Components feature is only supported with Internet Information Server, and Personal Web Server. The error message incorrectly states the cause of the failure. This feature is only supported with Microsoft Internet Information Server and Microsoft Personal Web Server.



RESOLUTION
The error can be dismissed. The Web will be copied to the destination server but the server components will not be registered.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a Web project on a Web server running Internet Information Server.
 * 2) Add an OCX or DLL to your Web project using Add Item from the menu.
 * 3) Right-click the OCX or DLL and select Properties.
 * 4) Select the Component Installation tab in the Properties window.
 * 5) Select the Register on Server option.
 * 6) Close the Properties window.
 * 7) Select Copy Web Application from the Project menu.
 * 8) Set the appropriate options (including the Register Server Components) in the Copy Web window and click OK.
