AspSxsName Metabase Property (IIS 6.0)

The AspSxsName property enables side-by-side (SxS) assemblies. SxS assemblies allow ASP applications to specify which version of a system DLL or classic COM component to use, such as WinHTTP 5.1, Shell Common Controls version 6.0 (Comctl32.dll), GDI Plus version 1.0 (GDIplus.dll), and Visual C++ Run-time Libraries version 6.0.

Set the AspSxsName metabase property to the name of the COM+ application. Also, set the AspEnableSxs flag of the AspAppServiceFlags Metabase Property. Set both metabase properties at the application level.
