Permission to load DLLs in IIS7

Question

We are using IIS7, currently in classic mode. We have an ActiveX control on our site that needs a DLL to load into Client. To make this happen, we remove the Execute permission for the DLLs and EXEs (in handler mappings).

The problem is that this method prohibits the use of DLL or EXE in a web application. Is there a way to configure IIS so that a particular DLL can be loaded without completely removing Execute permission?

Answer 1

Make another application that removes permissions to execute the handler handler. Store content in this application and redirect users to this application.
