Activator.CreateInstance and .NET 1.1 SP1 causes exception

[Ryan.Mohammed]

I have a problem that does not happen without .NET 1.1 however it does
happen on machines that have .NET 1.1 SP1 installed. Createinstance
attempts to create an instance of ICEBOX.dll which references
usbComm.dll. Has anyone encountered this before?
