I have a .NET 2.0 winforms app that is having problems on a Windows 98 computer. The app attempts to connect to Active Directory for authentication. I try to create a new DirectoryEntry and get the following exception from this constructor:

new DirectoryEntry(string path, string username, string password)

ActiveDirectoryOperationException: Unknown error (0x80070078)


Normally on win98, when you try to use Directoryservices on it will tell you a dll is missing unless you install Windows 98 Active Directory Client Extension (dsclient.exe). This has been done, as well as a hotfix from
...And now this mysterious error.

We just reinstalled a new version of the winforms app and now get the error.

Any ideas?
