CoCreateInstance fails when COM method calling it was called from assembly

[ranin02]

Hi,

I have a COM method that is called from VBA. This COM method in turn
calls CoCreateInstance on a class that is a .NET class with a COM
wrapper around it. This all works fine. However, when I kick off
that VBA routine from a .NET class within an assembly, I get a class
not registered error. When CoCreateInstance is called on that COM
visible .Net class a second time, then there is a security violation.
To try to make it clearer:

This works:
VBA -- > COM --> CoCreateInstance on COM wrapped .NET class

This does not work (And results in a Class Not Registered Error then a
security error if CoCreateInstance is called again):
.NET class --> VBA-->COM-->CoCreateInstance on COM wrapped .NET class

The .NET assemblies are not in the GAC -- they are in the same
directory.

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Sherri

Hi Sherry

I have a similar problem. Did you ever find out the root cause for this?

Thanks
