Upon opening the Internet Information Services Manager I get the following error

"MMC could not create the snap-in"

Upon looking around I found that running the following command 

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\inetsrv\inetmgr.dll

Should resolve the problem. In my case how ever it did not. Upon running the above command I get the following error instead

DllRegisterServer in C:\WINNT\system32\inetsrv\inetmgr.dll failed.

Just to clarify, yes the dll does exist in the said location.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

  • "C:\WINNT"? Was this server upgraded from Windows 2000? – joeqwerty Nov 13 '13 at 19:46
  • hi @joeqwerty not that I am aware of. – BaconJuice Nov 13 '13 at 20:02
  • Well then Windows ought to be installed in C:\Windows, not C:\WINNT, if memory serves me right. In Windows NT and Windows 2000 the Windows directory was C:\WINNT. In Windows 2003 and forward the Windows directory is C:\Windows. – joeqwerty Nov 13 '13 at 20:44
  • @joeqwerty Is correct... C:\WINNT means Server 2000 or NT. The only two possibilities are that this server was upgraded from 2000 or NT, or the originally installer *very dementedly* made the Windows installer install to the WINNT directory instead of the default. In any case, I'm not sure how it relates to your problem, but it is odd. – Ryan Ries Nov 13 '13 at 23:09
