Q:
I have an Active Server component written in VB5 that I am testing in IIS 4.0. After I test the .ASP page in my browser, if I change my code and try to recreate the DLL I get "this file is in use" message from the system and cannot overwrite the DLL. I can shut down the browser, but
short of killing the IIIS 4.0 processes (which doesn't seem a great idea) or rebooting (which is annoying), I can't unload the DLL. Is there some method of doing this?
A:
There are three methods that you may be interested in:
Type the following at a command prompt:
net stop iisadmin /y
net start w3svc
Place the DLL in a Transaction Server package and choose "shutdown" for the package to unload the DLL.
Mark the ASP application to run out of process and select Unload from the Internet Service Manager to unload the process and free the DLL.
