Weird assembly key problem

I have an application that uses a simple utility DLL. The DLL has a key
specified in AssemblyInfo file:

[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile(@"..\..\Utils.snk")]

Everything works fine on a development machine. Now when I try to install
the application with utility assembly on a machine with just W2K and .NET
1.1 installed, it does not start.

("Application has generated exception that could not be handled...").

This exception is generated when application is being loaded.

If I remove the above line (assembly key file specification) everything
goes fine.

What can this mean?

TIA
