Class not registered error

I'm trying to run the evaluation version of ANTS performance profiler 6.0.0.1312. When I connect to my IIS site and start the profiler, I get the following error:

"Failed to connect to target process because an exception occurred: Class not registered (Exceptoin from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))

Please check your setttings and try again."

Any ideas what the issue could be?

Thanks

Here are some additional details about the exception:

I think this is a known bug -that is, APP 6.0 doesn't support IE7 running on Vista at all.
We're planning on fixing this in the point release; we didn't want to delay the v6 release for this particular bug.
Sorry!

Workaround- manually open up another browser and paste in the same URL.

This issue does seem to be tied to browser version, it happens with IE, or firefox. Any other ideas

Sorry - that's all I have. I'll check with development...

Sorry- no further info at the moment. I have asked for this to be looked at but we're exceedingly busy in development at the moment. All I can suggest is try another machine - even a virtual one.

Sorry for any delay- this issue should be fixed now:
