We have an application that uses ActiveX Libraries (COM+ DLLs) that can
be either installed on COM+ (Component Services MMC) or registered
using regsvr32 (including on Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, etc...). We use
Borland Socket Server from Delphi 6.

When using COM+, we can shutdown one single DLL to update the file
without stopping the other DLLs. To do so we can stop the application
on Component Services MMC or stop the DLLHOST.EXE process that is
associated with the DLL we want to update.

When using the DLLs registered with regsvr32, we can't stop the whole
process since all DLLs are running under the same scktsrvr.exe process.
So, I'm thinking about changing the Socket Server to include some way
to unload just one DLL... Can someone help me with that? Any
sugestions?

I've tried to use GetModuleHandle to check if the DLL is running and if
so call FreeLibrary or CoFreeLibrary to unload it. It works, I can
unload it, but sometimes, when I try to load it again, I'm getting a
"Server threw an exception" error when the Socket Server calls
CoCreateInstance...

Please, any help will be great!!!

Z.

Hoi Zed

You need to repost your question on the Borland news server to make
everybody see it and possibly answer your question.

Take a look here:

BTW cross posting is a bad habit.
