How do I register a dll?

You must provide the complete path to the DLL you want to register.  The 
syntax for registering a DLL is:

regsvr32 c:/inetpub/scripts/library.dll


Most IIS / PWS DLL's reside in the C:\inetpub\scripts directory, so I 
used that in my example.  If your DLL's are located somewhere else then 
adjust the path accordingly, but the directory that you put them in must 
be a directory (usually virtual) in IIS with execute permissions.  
Replace library.dll with the filename of your DLL.
If you don't have physical access to the server, then the easiest way is 
to ask the system administrator to do it for you (he probably won't 
though unless you own the server, have paid to use it exclusively, or 
have paid for a virtual machine).  If you own the server, you can have 
the administrator install a remote access tool like PCAnywhere.  You 
might be able to use IIS's remote site administration tool, but I don't 
think you can register a DLL with that.
