ASP Classic + IIS7 issues

asp-classiciis-7

I've just enabled ASP Classic on an IIS7 install on Windows 2008 and tried to move an ASP application previously running on IIS6 on Windows 2003 to the IIS7 server. I'm getting the following error:

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3' 
Server.CreateObject Failed 
/Includes/SessionInclude.asp, line 3 
800401f3

SessionInclude.asp line 3 is:

set Session = server.CreateObject("SessionMgr.Session2")

My first thoughts were that there were some permission issues or a DLL needed registering, but I would think that the SessionMgr being a basic function should already be registered as a default?
Has someone ran into this issue before and would be able to shed some light on this issue? or the DLL I need to register?

Your code is not using something that is built-in to ASP (hence the need to instantiate it like so). It is a replacement for the default ASP Session object that permits sharing of session state with ASP.NET. You apparently need to find the SessionMgr.dll (or SessionManager.dll) file and register it on the new server.
