Getting error with disk access from DLL?

[jsever05]

Hey there...

I am using ASP.NET to create a web application running on IIS 5.0. In
this app, I am linking to an external COM DLL (written in C++ by
somebody else), and creating an instance of an object from this DLL in
the Global class of my webserver (it is a static instance). This object
gets created when the web server is restarted.

When I try to initialize this object, there is a command where it tries
to create a logfile (along with a specified directory, if it does not
already exist), and my program hangs at this point. I am runnning IIS
at the moment just on my local machine.

What I am wondering is if there is some problem with permissions going
on here, where an externally referenced DLL can't write to disk, and
how I would get around that.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Repro the issue and run IISState against the process. We need to see the
thread stack.
