Hi,
<p align=left> 
<p align=left>I implementing .net 2.0 remoting. My remotable object is a dll that calls a COM interop object.
<p align=left>Initially my remoting server was a .net 2.0 windows console application. In this scenario everything worked fine.
<p align=left>I was able to get data back from the remotable dll through the server from the client.
<p align=left> 
<p align=left>To move this architecture to production I needed to make the remoting server a windows service rather than a windows console application. When I did that the client is able to establish a connection to the remoting server(win service) but as soon as a call is made to the remotable object( that calls a COM interop function) I get the following error:
<p align=left>  <font size=2>
{System.IO.FileNotFoundException} System.Exception:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {9E652342-DA0D-488D-BDF2-F367DA425754} failed due to the following error: 8007007e.

<p align=left>any help would be appreciated.

<p align=left>thanks.
