Thanks for your request. Have you tried clearing ASP.NET temporary folder? Maybe this will help to resolve the problem. Also, maybe information provided here could help you:

As I understand it I have to stop and restart the IIS while clearing the temporary folder? I did iisreset and the application works. my question now is; Do I really have to make an iisreset? my Customer is not so keen on restarting iis every time we made a change in the dll that calls Aspose.words.dll.

Hi

Thanks for your request. I do not think that you need to reset IIS every time you made some changes. I suppose, such error occurs because some failure in IIS.
Have you tried the suggested way to resolve this problem? Does it help you?
Best regards.

As far as I can tell ASP.Net already has access to those folders.
If I clear the temp Asp.Net files don’t I have to stop iis while it´s done?

Hi

Thanks for your request. Since IIS uses files from this folder, you should stop IIS in order to remove all files from the temporary ASP.NET folder.
Best regards.

Hi

Thanks for your inquiry. Actually, this is not problem of Aspose.Words, such problem occurs because something wrong in IIS. So I cannot see any other way to resolve the problem without restarting IIS.
Best regards.
