Error creating a com dll wrapper

Adalbert

Environment : NAV Client, NAV server, SQL 2005 - Windows 2003 on production
Nav Client, NAV server, SQL 2005 - Windows 2008 on TEST

Here’s a summary of the issue:

• Navision 2009 RTC R2 (Role Tailored Client) uses a COM+ component for communication from NAV to BizTalk (which sends messages to our Customapplication service layer).
The COM + component is installed on the NAV server. Here it fails
The COM + Component when launched from the classic client works.

• This works on TEST ENVIRONMENT on NAV server but It fails on PRODUCTION with the error below
"Unable to create an instance Automation Server"
• Exception message details:
Type: System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException
Message: Cannot load type 'Nav2BizComWrapper.NavWSClient, Nav2BizComWrapper, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=82f6cfd9867668d3'.

• We reinstalled the COM+ Component on PRODUCTION environment
• We have removed the reference to this component and added again and recompiled the NAV objects
• We checked the version is the same and the CLSID is correct
• We checked there is only once instance / version of this component on that server
• We checked the service account has the right permissions to launch and activate (all user accounts on that server do)
• We ran a test script which successfully instantiates the COM+ component – so they think there is no registration / versioning issue
• We know that TEST is on W2K8 but LIVE is on W2K3 – that’s one difference
• All service account settings also are the same on TEST and on Production

Any assistance in resolving this issue would be most appreciated.
