ActiveX dll not letting go [Resolved]

[Dave Sell]

Hi,

I created an ActiveX DLL on my web server. In an ASP 3.0 app, I call:

Set objFactory = Server.CreateObject("prjVerbatron.clsFactory")

Then,

Set objFactory = Nothing

However, the project file is then locked, and I cannot replace the ActiveX DLL with a new version when I try to recompile the project. I get a "permission denied" error when I try to over-write my DLL.

If I go to my task manager, and kill the "dllhost.exe" with the webserver username, then I can over-write the file. That seems wrong to me, like I am not doing some needed garbage collection.

The class is very simple, and does not instantiate anything.

Is this normal?

Thanks!
