>*Sigh* Yeah, that sucks. If you're running Windows 95/98, I think you pretty much have to reboot. If you've got NT (maaaaybe 2000, haven't tested it)

In IIS5 (Win2K) this is unnecessary, you have the IISRESET command.

But the easiest way to do this is to run your component in MTS/COM+ and build a project hook that stops the package/application when you compile.
