Stuart,



This exact same problem is now happening to me.  Did you find a solution 

other than rebuilding?

Not sure if it's applicable to IIS5, but the solution to this problem when

hosting on IIS4 was this ...



This error occurs if the "Cache ISAPI Application" option of IIS4 has been

modified. In Application Mappings there is a checkbox for the Cache ISAPI

Applications option. If the Cache ISAPI Applications option is deselected,

IIS 4.0 does not cache ISAPI applications. All ISAPI applications are loaded

and unloaded from IIS 4.0 memory immediately after the ISAPI application is

executed on the server--including ASP. Set this option to the default value

(cache enabled). If necessary, restart your Web server and it should work

fine.







Hope this helps,

Craig.
