using microsoft enterprise library logging in c++/cli

Question

I am trying to use microsoft enterprise library logging framework in a c++/cli dll.

I tested it in a c++ application, and it worked beatifully. it is compiling in the dll, but does not work when I try to run it, and the error is not getting caught in my catch clause.

I have all the correct import and using statements in place - as it compiles without a problem.

This line of code is not going through in the dll:

IConfigurationSource^ dataSource = gcnew FileConfigurationSource("C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\WSUtils\\WSUtils\\app.config");

any ideas?

I think I discovered the problem. I am trying to call this dll from a COM application. The error is : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Is there any way to get around this?

TIA
