Hi,
As ASP on IIS (version 5 ) was handling database connection in Queue, I built a COM to handle DB connection and deployed it on COM services on Win-2000. But, I could use the COM component as pooled on (so that my database connections are handled concurrently instead of queued) systems with .Net framework. Though I do not require .Net framework, I need it only get the COM componet pooled.

I have the following Questions :
Is it OK to install .Net framework on a system with IIS which is only used for handling ASP ?
Will this .Net framework alter the behaviour of the IIS w.r.t. handling normal ASP page process ?
Is there any other way to achive COM component pooling for ASP pages on IIS 5 on Win-2000 ?

Please help me out.

Thanks,
CG.
