AccessViolationException was unhandled, calling VC dll from vb net to start an instance of NI diadem

Question

Hi,

I was trying to Start a diadem instance using a VC dll from my vb .net code. I'm getting the following error.

**System.AccessViolationException was unhandled
  Message="Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."
  Source="SDAS"

  InnerException:**

Also, to add this code was working fine in Windows XP. Now my OS has upgraded to WIndows 7. .net development is being done with VS2008.

I'm running the application as Administrator. Kindly help me to sort this .
