Hi Ed,

Simply "stopping" the the web server will do it. You have to actually shut down the web service to unload your COM server. You can do this thru Control Panel by shutting down the IIS Service, then restarting it. Or run the following commands in a batch file from the command line:

KILL INETINFO
PAUSE
NET START IISADMIN
NET START W3SVC

At the "Pause", wait a few seconds to allow things to "settle out", then press Enter and allow the web service to be restrted. You have to have the Kill utility ( I think it is Kill.exe ) in place. It can be found in the NT Resource Kit, and I think it comes with VC++.
