I am trying to profile a .Net 1.1 web app using IIS and I am running into an exception. The profiler appears to restart IIS succesfully, but then I receive this message:
Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 80004005.
