IIS is locking you DLL.



You'll need to stop the IIS Admin service (which will stop the WWW, SMTP,

FTP, and other IIS services).  Don't forget to restart all of them.



An alternative is to host it in MTS.  Then, you can uninstall it by simply

deleting it from the MTS explorer.  Of course, this comes with its own

requirements and issues, but it could save you some time during development.

Your problem is that IIS still holds a lock to your ocx, so you can't

delete it.



When developing, it easier to run the web application in a seperate

memory space from IIS.

Right click on your application folder from IIS in MMC, go to

properties/Home Directory.  Select (or check off depending on the

version of IIS your running) to run the app in a seperate memory space.



Now you can unload the application.  Unregister the old dll.  Delete the

old.  Copy in the new dll. Register the new dll.



Alternatively, if you don't run your app in a seperate memory space, you

have to stop IIS.  Then you'll be able to take the same

unreg/del/copy/reg steps above.



Good luck.

I encountered the same problem, but I was writing my component in Java.  

maybe you might want to try this posible solution.  Stop iis(internet 

information services),  Close the browser windows that might be using that 

component, go to the Component services Console and Stop Server Processes.



To Stop IIS use the MSDos command promp and type net stop iisadmin /y



To stop server processes go to the Component Services Console, expand the 

tree to find your computer, right click on it and select stop server 

processes.



To restart IIS type net start w3svc



try to rebuild the dll.

once you create a dll from you asp page the asp 'engine' keeps the dll

locked, in memory. You have to restart the iisadmin service. use this

command : "net stop iisadmin /y"

to start it (and www service) again use "net start w3svc"

Try stopping the website (within PWS or IIS) that has referenced the

component before making the new version.  I think ASP still keeps a

reference to it while that site is running.

Using MTS isn't as hard as it sounds, and it will give you a lot of benefits.



Check out the following small FAQ on how to "mts-enable" your component:

this was mentioned in a response already..



an easier way, without having to recycle the IIS services is to break it 

out into its own process, using MTS/Component Services.

Actually if you successfully set the object = nothing you shouldn't run into

this problem.  Usually this happens to me when the page crashes before I

destroy the object.  COM+ makes this whole process a little bit less

frustrating too.
