Anyone running Winword on Windows 2003 Server?

Good Morning,

after a lot of testing on my Windows 2k3 server I stopped trying to use Winword through COM, because the returned Word COM object never worked (I could neither open or create a document, nor could I even retrieve version infos from the Word instance, nothing ever worked).
I used Windows 2003 Server SP1, PHP 5.2.6 with office 2003 for my tests.

Now I wonder if anyone ever used Word on a Win 2003 Server? And what did you have to configure to use it?

Thanks for your comments!

Regards, Sascha

Never got as far as Win 2003, still on good old NT4, but I was never happy
with Winword running on the server. I have now moved to using the
'clsMsDocGenerator.php' class. By formatting the document as html and then
pushing it into the class instance, it is possible to generate Word
documents with a small footprint without the overhead of COM (meaning also
that it doesn't require a Windows server either).

Hope this helps.

George
