hi,

I'm very new to .net but have built a simple DLL with one class (using
a web reference for a soap interface).

i then followed instructions and ran
  tlbexp x.dll
  gacutil /i x.dll
  regasm x.dll

after that i could use the DLL COM-style in a JScript ASP page under
IIS5.

however, to get it to work on another developer's machine (where .net
2 beta is also installed) we found i had to provide the DLL with a
strong name.

this, however, seems not to be enough to get it to work on a test web
server running IIS5 + .net framework 1.1. the gacutil step fails with

  Failure adding assembly to the cache: Unknown Error

(drag and drop into the assembly also failed.)

anything special i have to do under these circumstances? i've searched
quite a bit but haven't found a clue yet that helps.
