I have a custom plugin that uses ExpertPDF's Html-to-Pdf converter. Once I build my custom plugin, it copies over the DLLs to its plugin folder under "Nop.Web/Plugins". Unfortunately, the site breaks when it tries to load the "epengine.dll". If I delete this DLL, the site will come up without any problems.
My guess is the "epengine.dll" is an unmanaged dll which ASP.NET/IIS/NOP is trying to load. Is there any way to tell IIS, ASP.NET, or NOP to exclude this dll from being loaded on site startup?

The best solution I've found so far is here.
Be mindful of your App Pool process though. If you set it up to allow 32-bit applications, then you might need to copy the unmanaged dll into the "SysWOW64/inetsvr" folder instead.
I'm left still wondering if there's an easier web.config setting that can ignore this dll though. Does anyone else have a solution to this particular problem?
