I'm trying to create a custom preprocessor with VB.Net. FW 1.1 BTS 2002
Class Library project.

I do the following but the component name doesn't show is File Recieve funct
ion dropdown.
1.
Set ref to BTSComponet:
BTSComponentsLib.dll

2.
Implement the inteface (with GUID Ref:
<Guid("C8391A26-63A7-4484-B622-CF88615CBBD2")> _
Public Class CustPreProcessorVB
Inherits ServicedComponent
Implements BTSComponentsLib.IBTSCustomProcess
3.
Create a Strong Name file BEFORE compile:
sn -k  D:\BTSCustomPreprocessor\MyBTSPreProcess
or\MyBTSPreProcessor.snk

4.
Add strong name ref in Assebmly.vb file:
<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile(" D:\BTSCustomPreprocessor\MyBTSPreProcess
or\MyBTS
PreProcessor.snk")>

5.
Compile dll:
No errors

6.
Create A reg file for BTS Implement Category:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C8391A26-63A7-4484-B622-CF88615CBBD2}\Imp
lemented Categories\{20E8080F-F624-4401-A203-9D99CF18A6D9}]

7.
Copy all componets in Bin Directory to tagrget BTS server that will run the 
componts.

8.
Register Dll with regserv using FW 1.1:
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\RegSvcs.exe MyBTSPreProcessor.dll
No Errors
9.
Run reg file
No Errors

Open BTS Admin, select a File Recieve function: BAM no prog ID found for com
ponent, My Componet is not in the list.

WHAT is out of order here?

Try changing
<Assembly:
AssemblyKeyFile(" D:\BTSCustomPreprocessor\MyBTSPreProcess
or\MyBTSPreProcesso
r.snk")>
to
<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\\..\\MyBTSPreProcessor.snk")>

Your strong name .snk file may not be "found" by the compiler. See below.

// (*) In order to create a KeyFile, you can use the sn.exe (Strong Name)
utility.
// When specifying the KeyFile, the location of the KeyFile should be
// relative to the project output directory which is
// %Project Directory%\obj\<configuration>. For example, if your KeyFile is
// located in the project directory, you would specify the AssemblyKeyFile
// attribute as [assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\\..\\mykey.snk")]
