I am building a web report. I wrote an Activex DLL to do the work and call 
it from an ASP page. The problem is that once I registered this DLL, I 
cannto unregister it! What I am saying is that I can type "unregister /u 
myDLL.dll" forever without get any error message! Seems it is always there 
and it always says unregister successfully. Due to this problem, I cannot 
get my ASP page work, and every time after I reregister the DLL, the error 
messages are different. Once I get an error message "DLL overflow", I 
guess that is the real problem.

Anyone has any idea of this problem? I would really appreciate any advice. 
I have been struggling on it for many days.

Thanks,
Cindy

I hope this might help u. 

First, unregister the old dll and try the following options.

Go to Internet service manager (IIS) and click propertise for that 
website  and then click the tab "Home Directory".

You can see "Application Protection" at the bottom with the 
content "Medium (Pooled)".

Click the unload button. It will release all the pooled information for 
that website.

Then stop the IIS service for that website and start it back. Now try to 
register ur new dll. It will take place imdly.

If that doesn't help u, then u need to restart the server and then 
register the new dll.

Thanks
Ramesh

Ramesh:

Thanks very much for the reply.

I tried your suggestion, it works to some extent. I am saying this because 
of the following reason:

I registered my DLL, my ASP page works as expected. Then I unregister it 
in DOS by "regsvr32 /u myDLL", my ASP page still works! I checked the 
registry, it is not there anymore. But my page works and I can type the 
command "regsvr32 /u myDLL" forever withoug any error!

So after I unregister DLL, I tried "unload" in "Application Protection" as 
you suggested. This time my ASP page does not work (Good! should be like 
this!) But I can still type the command "regsvr32 /u myDLL" forever 
withoug any error! Very wield!

I read things from internet, DLL could be loaded into memory so it needs 
to be unload from the memory. Do you think that could be the reason?

Thanks,
Cindy

Actually, I believe that regsvr32 /U myDll will always return a success even
after it's been unregistered. It only returns an error when the file is in
use. It won't tell you that it's already unregistered.

At least that has been my experience with it.

When, we unregister the dll, it is removing from the registry but some 
extend it is not removing from the memory.

That's why i suggested u to unload it manually.

When u unregister the dll, it always says, the dll unregistered 
successfully even if it is not exist on the registry.
Only microsoft can help us on this :)

And one more thing, please make sure the user who logged in, should have 
administrator rights to register/unregister the dll for better result.

Thanks
Ramesh
