If sLocation is a string, shouldn't the path be in quotes?

I'm working on first app in Smart Client programming.
I have a very simple application that has 3 textboxes and 1 command button.
The command button will add the numbers in the first 2 textboxes and puts
the sum in the 3rd textbox. The app is done in VB.Net and is compiled as a
dll. I have another exe app that will load the dll from the http server.
When I ran the exe on my machine where the dll is located I get an error.
The error I get is file not found or dependency file not found.

Here's my code:
Try

'Download the assembly from a web server over HTTP

Dim sLocation As String

sLocation = [url]HTTP://MIS0014/AdditionServer/AdditionServer.dll[/url]

Dim formAsm As [Assembly] = [Assembly].LoadFrom(sLocation)

'Get the Form from the assembly

Dim formtype As Type = formAsm.GetType("AdditionServer.AddNumbers")

'Create an instance of the Form

Dim FormObj As Object

FormObj = Activator.CreateInstance(formtype)

'Cast it to a Form object to enable early binding and show the form

Dim Form1 As Form = CType(FormObj, Form)

Form1.Show()

Catch exc As Exception

MsgBox(exc.ToString)

End Try

The app that I'm working on is a "smart client" application. Other
people call it "no touch deployment". What you're thinking is that my
app is for "smart devices".

On my original code, the location is between quotes. When I pasted the code,
some how the quotes were gone.
When I run my program, I also get a DCOM error. The error states that the
IWAM account can't logon to the computer. I looked at my Local Policy and
under "logon locally" rights, the IWAM account is in there. Did I miss any
other security?
