AspSxsName

Side-by-side (SxS) assemblies allow ASP applications to specify which version of a system DLL or classic COM component to use, such as MDAC, MFS, MSVCRT, MSXML, and so on.

Set the AspSxsName metabase property to the name of the COM+ application. Also set the AspEnableSxs flag of the AspAppServiceFlags metabase property. Set both metabase properties at the application level.
