What is 'dllhost.exe' ?

[gsig]

Hello,

When we launch our application (launch a html page, which executes a C++ application, and then, verify the existence of a file ... it's not clear, but it doesn't matter i think), an executable take all the resources of the computer. It is 'dllhost.exe'.
Is there someone who know what it is?

Thank you.

dllhost is used on all versions of WIndows 2000. dllhost is the host process for all COM+ applications.

IIS 5.0 uses COM+ for managing asp pages, and executing them, so when you call a asp page, dllhost will be used to execute the asp page.

DllHost is hosting a number of DLL's. So the total number that you are seeing is actually multiple instances of COM objects, that are hosted in the file.
