Hi Ignas,

is your COM+ component in-process (Library application) or
out-of-process? Then what is the apartment model of the COM+ class you
are instantiating and which apartments do your threads use (the main
thread seems to be STA, but what about the helper thread)? As your
problem seems to be apartment-related, this information would help.
