Are you destroying the object after you have created it?

e.g.

Set objSomething = Server.CreateObject("Whatever")

'// rest of your script

Set objSomething = Nothing

If you are not using COM+, the DLL is loaded into IIS process space. If you
have registered the DLL with COM+, the DLL is loaded into a COM+ process
until it releases it (3 mins default).

So, depending on how you have registered the DLL, you can either

1. Stop IIS process, which releases the DLL. (use iisreset.exe)
2. Shutdown the COM+ package

After this, you should be able to delete the DLL. But before you do,
unregister it to avoid missing references.
