I haven't used IIS6 in years, but I would have expected this to work fine, unless it's running a very old version of the .NET framework.

I have copied all dlls from local machine to server, but still no luck. Server is having .net 4.0 and IIS6.0. There is no any entry found in web.config of local for webactivator dll, only reference is added in application, do i need to add any reference in assembly section in compilation tag?

WebActivator builds on .NET's PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute (docs). It itself has an attribute of the same name, which can be confusing, but it's not the same one.

Anyway, to help isolate, test if the plain PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute works on your server, to keep WebActivator out of the equation.

I have used PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute of System.Web, restarted IIS on server, no luck.

That's odd. At least it isolates away from WebActivator itself. You may want to ask the non-WebActivator question in a general ASP.NET forum (or StackOverflow).

As a workaround, you can try calling ActivationManager.Run() from your global.asax's Application_Start.
