Simple App As A Smart Client

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 = HTTP://MIS0014/AdditionServer/AdditionServer.dll

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 TryOn 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?
