dotnet interop: Hi there,
I have written a COM enabled .Net 2.0 library which works fine
on the machine that I wrote it on. However, when I deploy it on a customers
2003 server and try and use it, I get the following error:

The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable.

Why does it think that the library is on a remote machine? I have tried to
register it using regasm with /codebase and /tlb options, but it makes no
difference.

Welcome to the party, pal. I've been fighting with the same problem
for a while and so have a ton of other people. It's all documented on
my blog with a tutorial for creating an Excel Automation Addin with a
shim for COM to call managed functions from formulas. Wish someone
from Microsoft would stick their head into this - it does us no good
to develop code that we can't deploy.

If you're using the COM Shim Wizard, check out Andrew Whitechapel's
recent blog entry on a bug fix. I haven't had time to try it but it
could be the solution to all of these problems.
