COM in 'smart client programming' Downloaded Code

[Guest_imported]

Please, I need some help on working with COM when
downloading run-time/pre compiled classes from a web
service.
I am currently serializing the object instance into a
binary string, (a method I hoped to use with our current
XML output from our web service), and so have tried to
ensure serialization throughout the classes.
However, I am running into some difficulty when
distributing these classes when they use COM objects - I
know I could use Assembly.CreateInstance, but how do I
retrieve events from the resulting instance? And how
would I pass methods that use REF parameters?

Thanks in advance for you help,
Ben

At what point does it fail?
During the download, during the copy to the local machine's filesystem, or when you call LoadModule on it to bring it into your CRL?

My first guess would be to look at the security settings on the PC. Accessing the local hard drive is now a privledged operation, and you have to have the proper rights.
