I've managed to get InDesign working pretty well from a .NET Windows App, but I'd like to run it from a web application or web service so I can operate my app remotely. But when I try to instantiate the InDesign COM component I get a "Cannot create ActiveX component" error message.

I have a reference to the InDesign type library, so I have a wrapper dll.
I've tried playing with IIS permissions and creating a COM apartment. But none of that works.

Can I actually do what I want. If not, why?

Has anyone tried this before?
