Hi, basically I'm working on a server thats running WIN 4.0 and IIS 4.0.

I'm running a webclass and need to replace a dll for the webclass , which is placed inside of an MTS package.

Originally I unfortunitely registered the same DLL with 2 different CLSID's, but then cleared up the registery succesfully of all traces of that DLL.

Now however everytime I want to replace the DLL, irrespective of whether binary compatibility has changed, I am unable to do so.

Firstly, I shutdown the MTS component the DLL is in, then I unload the IIS virtual application, hosting the IIS site.

I am still not however able to even remove the DLL from the MTS component OR replace it with a new DLL (even after unregistering it. I have to actually restart the server, even after I stop the MTS and IIS services.

After I have done this, I still have trouble adding the DLL back into the MTS package. I use the 'drag and drop' method to put it inside the MTS package, but this doesn't always work. Literally the first time I try I get an error (eventhough it still writes to the registery), but then when I try again it works.

Anyone have any idea as to why .

1. The dll cannot be replaced other than by restarting the server ?

2. I get problems trying to add the DLL to MTS, even though there exists no data in the registery for that component ?


cheers
