schoolminder create shortcut get activex error

Thankfully IIS 7 and later allows Application Pool configuration to enable 32 bit operation to work around this issue. If this condition was common enough to include that 'probably' in the error message, it ought be common enough that the application should actually check and see if this is the case or not. When moving applications to 64 bit servers be sure to check that you don't call old school, 32 bit COM objects. Lastly, that error message is a little lazy. It also seems like a poor security practice to me since highly elevated permissions are unnecessary for this. It's a little bizarre that a system service is responsible for creating desktop shortcuts in user profiles. If anyone from Valve reads this, please consider moving this function to the frontend client instead of the system service. Since SYSTEM on the NAS isn't the same as SYSTEM on my local PC, SteamService.exe can't create the file and unhelpfully tells me that it 'probably' already exists. My specific incompatibility is that I'm using folder redirection to keep various folders, including desktop, located on a NAS device. If you've played with permissions, or did anything special with your user profile (like moving it to another drive), check the permissions to make sure SYSTEM still has full control. If SYSTEM does not have permissions to write to your desktop folder, this could cause this error. It seems that the SteamService.exe is responsible for creating shortcuts, and that runs with SYSTEM credentials. However, perhaps the information I've discovered might help others. I've figured out what is causing it in my case, but I don't have a good way to fix it.
