.Net 2.0 - The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

[zoneboy]

I have this .Net dll I'm using. But when I depoly my app to a 2003
server with the 2.0 framework installed I get the error message below.

The dll is a 1.1 dll, but I have also compiled it under 2.0. It looks
like a COM exception of some kind but it gives me no information what
so ever as to which component is causing this error. On my XP machine
it works just fine.

Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

I have no idea why this happens, but if I turn off the "allow site to
be updated" box when publishing the website it works just fine.

Case closed.
