Ok, but this doesn't explain what you are doing in the component.
Apphelp.dll is new for XP and W2K3, so doesn't exists on W2K, what you need
to find out is whether this apphelp.dll is the cause of the 'File not found'
exception. Does "Depends" flags this apphelp.dll as a delay-loaded module?
I would suggest you to run the Filemon utility (
www.sysinternals.com) to
find-out which file is't found when creating an instance of the component.
Note also that it's a bad idea to load the CLR in IIS through ISAPI dll's.

| It is ISAPI extension written in C++ and calls the .NET part via COM.
|
| The c# part is:
|
| namespace ISAPI_EXT_Net
| {
| [Guid ("525DC55C-12BF-442f-A44A-64C882E2F226"),|
InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch)]
| public interface IISAPI_ext
| {
| bool GetStereoFile(string url_in, out string url_out);
| bool TestUrl(string url);
| }
|
| [Guid ("1309836E-DE0C-4f93-AE9B-DEFBD3531CE3"),
| ComSourceInterfaces(typeof(IISAPI_ext))]
| public class ISAPIExt : IISAPI_ext
| ...
|
| Everything is ok on the development environment (Visual 2003 and XP).
| The failures to create instance are on the production environment (W2K).
