Matt, in addition to unregistering, make sure that there are no registry entries (related to the DLL) left, before you try to register it again.

Also, single-treaded DLLs are almost useless, as you cannot even instantiate it second time within the same application without releasing the existing instance first. If you create it for Web application then (depending on purpose) you pobably should use MTDLL under MTS, as Claude says.
