However, if I remember correctly I think we eventually put the FDO DLLs in their own directory and then added only that directory to the system path. That way we didn't have to add the ASP app's bin folder to the system path and risk the side effects you are describing. However, that approach has the side effect that all ASP applications on the server will need to use the same FDO DLLs and you would not be able to run multiple versions of FDO.
