When you apply ASP.NET hotfixes or updates, the installer may stop and then restart the IIS Admin Service and all dependent services

INTRODUCTION

When you apply ASP.NET hotfixes or updates, the installer may stop and then restart the IIS Admin Service and all dependent services.

MORE INFORMATION

When you apply an ASP.NET hotfix or update, the updated DLLs are installed in the global assembly cache (GAC). The updated DLLs may have the same assembly version as the DLLs in the previous build. Additionally, only the file versions of the updated DLLs are incremented. During the installation process, the installer stops any process that is holding open a handle to a DLL that the installer is updating.

Therefore, the installer stops and then restarts the IIS Admin Service. When the installer stops the IIS Admin Service, all dependent processes also stop. For example, the W3wp.exe process and the Aspnet_wp.exe process stop. These process restart when the IIS Admin Service restarts.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
