Alright - I'm convinced that this has something to do with Code Access
Security since I've pretty much wiped out all the other possibilities that I
am aware of. Does anyone know how I can grant my Interop DLL with rights to
make changes to the registry and folders outside of the web application's
path? I think this is where the exception is occurring.
