Using the IDAutomation.com Server Controls on Windows Vista

When using the IDAutomation.com Server controls, a "404 (File Not Found) error" is received.

Windows Vista, and certain implementations of IIS on other operating systems, including Windows Server 2003, require the IDAutomation Server Control DLL's to be placed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) instead of the bin directory of the Virtual Directory. To place the DLLs in the Global Assembly Cache, follow these steps:

1. Locate the Global Assembly Cache folder. On most systems, this is the C:\windows\assembly folder. If the assembly folder does not exist, use a registry editing tool such as RegEdit and find the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\CacheLocation. 
2. Copy the  IDAutomation.LinearServerControl.dll to the Global Assembly Cache directory. (Leave the  LinearStream.dlll in the bin directory.)
3. Restart IIS.

For more information, see Global Assembly Cache.
