Can anyone direct me to any examples of calling Exiftools from ASP pages?
Exiftools is running fine on local machine (w2k3 server) with IIS. I'm generally not getting any errors just no output.

I don't have any experience with ASP, but these type of server problems
are usually caused by 1 of 2 things:
1) Different environment settings when run via the server. This could
possibly break things so the Perl libraries can't be loaded properly.
2) Different privileges when run via the server. Make sure the account
that the server runs in has permission to execute perl and exiftool and
permission to open all of the library files.
And if you are running on Windows with the stand-alone version, there
is another potential problem:
3) The exiftool.exe application needs write permission to a temporary
directory for caching the modules that are extracted.
You may be able to test most of these by logging into the same account
the server uses and trying to run exiftool from there. I would have
expected an error to be logged from any of these problems though,
so maybe I'm way off with my guess.

Thanks Phil. I've taken most of these items into account already. However I will look into the temporary directory permissions.
