new COM("ADODB.Connection") does not work with SQL Express

[rtcary]

This simple test that works with other installations no longer works with SQL Express. Thanks to Vista, the applications are no longer can run that script on my notebook that I use for testing.

Any suggestions?

<?php4
$db = new COM("ADODB.Connection");
?>

Use one of the built-in MS SQL Server interfaces to connect? Either [man]mssql[/man] or, better yet, [man]pdo-odbc[/man].

Unfortunately the application is extensive and has been coded using COM objects. When I mentioned changing the application, the client was not interested in that approach.

Does SQL Express accommodate COM objects?
