Which components are installed on the server?

When you are moving to another server or hosting provider, it is very useful to know which components are installed on your server. You can check this with a handy script made by Charles Carroll. This script works with an .ini file which holds the ProgIDs of the components you want to check. This is the same ProgID you woudl use with Server.CreateObject. You can create different sections for different components or (as is done in the download) by vendor.

A section of components.ini looks like this:
[ado]
adodb.recordset
adodb.connection
adodb.command

In the sample above a section [ado] is defined with the relevant ProgIDs. You can add sections and ProgIDs as you see fit. Put the components.asp and components.ini files in the same directory.
