Is there a way I can use my custom dll just by placing it in the ASP folder
and not having to use regsvr32 to register it? I takes forever to get our
admins to do anything like this for us.

thanks

You do not have access to your server (like via Terminal Services or
something)? You could try doing it in ASP:

<%
Dim oShell
Set oShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "%%systemroot%\system32\regsvr32.exe D:\Path\file",0, False
Set oShell = Nothing
%>

If you have administrative rights, setup a non-anonymous directory and try
executing that...

If it is a COM object then it needs to be registered. If
you already have it registered and are only making a
change, as long as you keep compatibility (Binary Compat
in VB) then you can replace the DLL with the new one, but
you will need to stop IIS to do that.

MTS/COM+ also has a set of COM admin objects that you
could script from ASP to registered your DLL in MTS/COM+,
but that will probably need some kind of admin access.
