Lazy Registration issue with Activator.CreateInstance

[Guest]

I have currently an issue with the following piece of code. The assembly is
to run under com+ (as Library) and the class derives from ServicedComponent.

Code: C# - .NET framework V1.1.4322

// Prepare fully qualified class name

fullyQualifiedNetClassTypeName = Namespace + "." + ClassName + ", " +
AssemblyName + ", " + "Version=" + AssemblyVersion + ", " + "Culture=" +
AssemblyCulture + ", " + "PublicKeyToken=" + PublicKeyToken;

// Create an instance of the class

netStatusType = Type.GetType(fullyQualifiedNetClassTypeName,true);
netStatusObject = Activator.CreateInstance(netStatusType);

When the blue line executes, I receive the following exception: "A first
chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in
mscorlib.dll . Additional information: File or assembly name
d:\projects\hfdm\03 - developing\01 - development\source\maincodeline\hfdm
services\dell.hfdm.processflowcontroller\bin\debug\dell.hfdm.processflowclasses.dll, or one of its dependencies, was not found."

I checked multiple times and the dll exists. If I register the assembly
manually in COM+, it works. If it uses the autoregistration process (when
Activator.CreateInstance(netStatusType)is executed) I get the exception. If I
remove EnterpriseServices specific configuration (the class does not derive
from ServicedComponent), it works.

Checking the call stack (below), I see a strange call: The Assembly.Load
method has the path of the assembly as parameter but it should be the
Assembly name. Is it a bug?

mscorlib.dll!System.Reflection.Assembly.InternalLoad(System.Reflection.AssemblyName
assemblyRef = {System.Reflection.AssemblyName}, bool stringized = true,
System.Security.Policy.Evidence assemblySecurity = <undefined value>,
System.Threading.StackCrawlMark stackMark = LookForMyCaller) + 0x1ac bytes
mscorlib.dll!System.Reflection.Assembly.InternalLoad(string assemblyString
= @"d:\projects\hfdm\03 - developing\01 -
development\source\maincodeline\hfdm
services\dell.hfdm.processflowcontroller\bin\debug\dell.hfdm.processflowclasses.dll",
System.Security.Policy.Evidence assemblySecurity = <undefined value>,
System.Threading.StackCrawlMark stackMark = LookForMyCaller) + 0x68 bytes
