Service Hosted Remoting Doesn't Work When Installed With MSI

I have a remote object hosted in a windows service. It works great when the
service is installed via InstallUtil.exe. When I install the service using
a Setup Project, the service runs, but accessing the remote object gives a
File or assembly name XX, or one of its dependencies, was not found." error.

I am loading the configuration file using
RemotingConfiguration.Configure(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformat
ion.ConfigurationFile);

I also get this error if I use
RemotingConfiguration.Configure("SvcName.exe.config") and put the config
file in System32.

I'm certain the path to the config file is correct as this same code works
when installed with InstallUtil.exe

The remote object is in the gac and not installed by the setup project. I
don't think this should matter, but am including this point in case it does.

Thanks for any help with this.
