Old DLL reference to renewed service 1

[Boockey]

Hi all,
I'm having a difficult problem here.
I have written an Excel component a while a ago, this service runs at the servers of our company. There about 100 websites we created that use that excel component, and in all those projects there is a dll reference to that component. Recently i added some stuff to the component, and it seemed none off the websites could access the component anymore. I did only add some procedures and classes. I dind't chance any of those who where used by those websites.

Now my question is: is there a way that I can adapt my service without having to deploy all thos webites again. Because that is not an option. Making a new new component and call this excelcomponent2 is also not an option because than we must have 2 services running on the server. I tryed, I tryed, and I tryed, and haven't found a solution yet.

Thanks in advance

The error is the standard error when the service is not available. So it is: Excel service temporary unavailable, but i think I have a solution wich is dirty, ok. But saves me hours and hours of work.

But thanks for trying to help me!
