500 error and Windows XP with WBI

An AyaNova user setting up WBI on his Windows XP Pro computer that has IIS 5 installed performed step #2 of the WEBtesting steps and received HTTP 500 error in the web browser attempting to get the WBI login screen

The AyaNova user checked his Event Viewer log, and the following error had been logged: dir=ltr " ">

The server failed to load application ‘/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT/WBI’. The error was 'Class not registered

Performed a search online, and found this very helpful web page which identifiespossible solutions for this issue having to do with Windows components themselves affecting where IIS can load ASP pages or not.
