>>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++.

I don't believe it should matter that it's PWS. You still need to shut down the IIS service and restart it to unload the COM server from memory, either in Control Panel or by executing the commands listed above. That's the only way I know to unload the COM server from memory so you can recompile.
