C# service not Starting on Windows7

Hi, I have a windows service written in C# which interacts with COM dll. The application is running fine from code. I am able to debug application. But when I put the files in system32 folder and start the service from there, it gives error -

System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

I am not able to figure out, why the application is not running from system32 directory and running fine from code.

Note: I am using Windows 7 32bit system. The application is using .net Framework 2.0
I have registered required dlls. (The application runs fine on windows xp.)

Can anyone throw some light, what I should do? Am I missing something?

You can't put files in the system32 folder (in Vista/Win7). That's a security violation. Try putting them into their own folder inside "program files (x86)".
