IIS6 MMC Crashes when properties opened

Already tried to uninstall Office and that didn't work. We need Office installed in order to get at the COM objects of Excel. I suppose there is another way to get them installed but even after uninstall it did not fix the problem.

The one time I saw that, it was because Office installed an older version of
some DLL which is loaded by the IIS Snapin via some other dependencies, and
it causes a crash. This happens for the "Properties" since the DLL is used
to populate one of the tabs, as well as other nodes.

I cannot remember the resolution clearly, but it was basically to get rid of
the DLL that is causing the crash, and then things go back to normal.

I cannot remember which DLL, though, so I would use the Microsoft Debugging
Toolkit (http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/debugging) to attach a debugger to
MMC.EXE prior to opening the IIS Snapin, capture the crash, look at the
stack at what DLL is causing the crash (and what directory it comes from),
and remove that DLL.

For a while everything was working fine. Now, for no apparent reason, when I
try to get to the properties or any other action within the MMC for IIS, the
MMC crashes/closes. Attempts to right click to access the menu even crashes
it. I had been able to work from the MMC on another server but now that
server is doing the same thing. The only recent change that was made to one
server and not the other was that the one that use to work recently had
Office installed on it. This is very frustrating. Suggestions???

Got the solution from MS help desk.

When MS office 2000 was installed, it by default installed front page extensions 4.0 or 2000. FP 4.0 and windows server 2003 are not compatible. I just regsrv32 DLL's /u on all of the FP 4.0 files then deleted them from the system.

After that everything was working again. Thanks for trying.
