Unable to install .Net Assembly in Windows 2003 Web Edition.

[Carlos G Benevides]

I have a ASP.Net web application that has two assemblies that run
under com+. Under Windows 2000 the two assemblies are added to com+
automatically when instantiated from the web site. For this to happen
we had to change the context in which asp.net runs from machine to
SYSTEM by modifying the machine.config file. Under Windows 2003 no
matter how asp.net is set to run as either machine or system. I get
the following error:

System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: One or more of the
types in the assembly unable to load.

and this stack trace.

The next thing I tried to do was to add the assemblies to com+
manually. I did this two different ways. The first was to use the
com+ mmc and create a new application and then add the components.
One of the assemblies install just fine, but the second one which is
called datalayer.dll gives me this error:

An error occurred while processing the last operation.
Error code 80131602.

The second way I tried to add the components to com+ was by using
regsvcs.exe. I used the following command:

regsvcs /appname:ExtendAg datalayer.dll.

Which returns the following error.

An unknown exception occurred during installation:
1: System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException - Insufficient
state to deserialize the object. More information is needed.

I installed Visual Studio .Net 2003 and I am able to build
datalayer.dll. I tried using this dll and got the same exact results
as above. The error messages purports that there is an assembly it
cannot find, I have gone through the dependencies for datalayer.dll
and all required assemblies are installed. I have also used ntfilemon
and ntregmon to monitor activity and see if there was something
missing or permission problem. I found nothing out of the ordinary.
However, when I try to access the app and get the error message:

System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: One or more of the
types in the assembly unable to load.

If I hit F5 and repost the data I get

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ExtendAg.Objects.HashtableRequired is denied.

with this stack trace.

This is the error message we got under windows 2000 and the asp.net
was set to run as machine instead of system. However, as I've stated
before changing this in windows 2003 makes no difference.

If someone out there has come across this or can help me figure it out
I would be much obliged. Thanks.

The stack trace indicates the app is trying to auto-register your COM+ app.
This requires admin rights on the machine which ASP.NET does not (should
not) have, regardless whether you run as machine or system.
You should manually install the COM+ app (serviced component), probably
using regsvcs.exe .

Auto-registration of serviced components into COM+ is primarily a
convenience feature for devevelopment time.
For more on this, check out

particularly the section on Deployment.
