Unable to get installer types

I

Izzy

I created a windows service using VS 2005 in VB.NET and it runs on my
Windows XP Pro machine just fine, now I'm want to install it on one of
my servers which is a Windows 2000 Terminal server running sp4 version
5.00.2195. I also have .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 installed on
this server AND the server was rebooted after the .NET Framework 2.0
was installed.

I had some custom actions set up in the installer class, thinking that
might be the problem I removed them and tried installing the service
using the following action:
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\installutil "C:\Program
Files\STC\EDI Manager\EDI Manager.exe"

And still get the following error:

An exception occurred during the Install phase.
System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to get installer types in the
C:\Program Files\STC\EDI Manager\EDI Manager.exe assembly.
The inner exception System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException was
thrown with the following error message: Unable to load one or more of
the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more
information..

This windows service does not use any 3rd party controls, except it has
one crystal report. Since the service wont install I don't think it's
the crystal report causing the error, I could be wrong.

Does anyone know why it woks fine on my XP Pro machine but fails on the
2000 machine?
I've searched online but have not yet found the solution.
