    I ran this code on Windows XP Pro SP2 just fine. The question is, where are you executing this code   Are you executing it from a network share or in another local other than from off of one of your local disk drives   I don't know this for sure, but I would imagine these classes need reflection permission and/or unmanaged code execution permission.  If you are executing from a network share or something of that nature, you are sure to have your permission set limited.

    What exception are you getting
