Hi Sergey,

I got it to work finally, the problem was I had a VB COM EXE not a DLL so I recompiled it as a DLL and changed the threading model to Both and used a DLL surrogate DLLHost for out-of-process and now it works fine. Funny the EXE worked on my test server but not on my production server. Well guess I never know why.
