I have a simple question. Do i register dll's on the iis server machine the same way as on a clinet machine?...(regsrv32 c:\mycom.DLL) or do i have register it differently so iis5 can find it and instanciate it from server.createobject?

Hi Rich,

If you want you can just register them using regsvr32. It will work just like your local machine, so IIS will be able to find the component.

It may be, however, a better solution to put your component inside a COM+ package. This will give you more control over the security, allows you to setup a Constructor String and generally makes it easier to recompile and replace the DLL. That is because a COM+ package can be unlocked (as opposed to a DLL locked by IIS), without the need to stop or restart IIS.

You can read all about this in this article.
