ID: Q192036

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When a server-side component has been added to a project, registered and accessed in an Active Server Page (for example, using Server.CreateObject()), some folders and files are left on the server after the project has been deleted. The folders and files that remain are as follows: 


   _vti_bin\ 
     _vti_aut\ 
       fp30reg.dll
The component file remains as well.

If the user attempts to delete the files, an Access Violation occurs.


RESOLUTION

To delete the files, the Internet Information Server (IIS) service and the MSDTC (Transaction Server) service must be stopped, then the files can be deleted using Windows Explorer.

To remove the files, follow these steps:

  1. Open a Command Prompt.


  2. Enter the command: net stop iisadmin.


  3. Enter the command: mtxstop.


  4. Open Windows Explorer and delete the files and folders.


  5. Restart your Web server
