I’m using Ben Lowery's HttpCompress (http://www.blowery.org/code/HttpCompressionModule.html) on two sites.  The first one is .Net 1.1 and it works –great-.  However on another site, different web host, I’m trying to use it on .Net 2.0 and I’m receiving the error posted below.  BUT, this only happens on certain Host admin pages (Host/Portals).  My public facing pages appear to load just fine, and perform great.  I’ve been real careful to make sure I’m using the correct .dlls appropriate for the .Net version.   Has anyone else run into this?  Any ideas for trouble shooting?  Is there any additional information I can post that might help?

I followed the instructions from Scott McCulloch found at http://www.smcculloch.net/Resources/Articles/tabid/213/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/46/EnablingHTTPCompressionforDotNetNuke.aspx 

(Thanks Ben and Scott!!)
