The .dll that refuses to die - Revisited

[Dave Delaney]

Dan (and Damien)

Thanks for your responses. I had already stopped the web server and restarted
it to no avail. I tried Damien's advice re: run in separate memory space
flag. This also does not work. The error message is: 'Cannot delete. There
has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use.'

Again, I ran a simple .dll which only returned a string when called. It also
displays similar behavior of being undeletable unless I reboot. This doesn't
happen when I use the .dll with a VB test app. Is this an IIS issue or is
there something more elegant to be done than rebooting every time a new dll
is installed?

Again, thanks for your patience.

You have to stop IIS - not just the www service. Also the IIS Admin service, and
possibly the FTP service.

Dan,

I just shut all services down and still no dice... I just spoke to someone
else who had the same issues and eventually resorted to rebooting with each
new dll install. Have you heard of IIS behaving in this manner?

Thanks much... BTW checked out your website/tools-- very nice. Might well
pick up your book on components.

Wow, you got me. I've never had problems replacing DLL's used by IIS once I stopped
the services.
