Deployment issue

Hello,

With vb.NET, I created a very simple class library project with only one
com class (one method).
I used the setup project template to generate an msi file.

On some computers, trying to use my com class in a VBA macro throws the
error :
The assembly ... or one of its dependencies was not found (my
translation !)

Have you seen this kind of problem ? I can't figure out what are the
differences between the computers on which the com class runs and the
one on which it doesn't.

Visual Studio 2005
All updates installed on the development computer

Thanks.

I forgot a point.

It seems (but I am not 100% sure) that on the computers in error, the
setup ask to restart. I never saw this on the computers on which the com
class runs.

"setup ask to restart": Does this mean that there's a progress dialog and
perhaps Windows Installer is asking for the install MSI again?
I'm wondering if this is a repair. If so, one possibility is that the setup
isn't being installed for all users.

The setup completes normally, and then a dialog box ask to restart the
computer.

The repair dialog doesn't appears and the program is installed for all
users.
It's difficult to me to have access to the computers that fail. As soon
as I have one I will examine carefully the system. I really think it is
a problem with the pre-installed components on the system (perhaps
anti-virus ?). I can't make a more simple program than my «Hello world»
to test.

Perhaps do I need to cleanup the installer program ? I saw some tools on
microsoft website (msizap I think).
