Checking server for Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0

Question

I am working on an ASP function that checks the server for
Msxml2DOMDocument 6.0. The function works great on my development
server, but on a real world server it returns Type Mismatch. This
happens only when I check for 6.0., if I check for 4.0 it runs
good. How do I handle a Type Mismatch error in classic asp?

Thanks David

Function checkXMLversion6()
 Dim textxml
 
 Err.Clear
 Set testxml = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0")
 On Error Resume Next
 
 if Err.Number <> 0 then
 Response.Clear()
 checkXMLversion6 = True
 else
 checkXMLversion6 = False
 end if
End Function

Working versionFunction checkXMLversion6() Dim textxml  On Error Resume Next Set testxml = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0") If Err.Number<>0 Then  checkXMLversion6 = False Err.Clear 'must have' else checkXMLversion6 = True end if End Function

Update to code
Function checkXMLversion6()
Dim textxml

On Error Resume Next
Set testxml = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0")

If Err.Number<>0 Then
checkXMLversion6 = False
else
checkXMLversion6 = False
end if
End Function

This returns an error number of -2147221005. The If Err.Number<>0 is not working.
