C# app throws error when connecting to indesign server

[xmlapi]

It throws this exception:

Invalid syntax (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800401E4 (MK_E_SYNTAX))
   at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.MkParseDisplayName(IBindCtx pbc, String szUserName, UInt32& pchEaten, IMoniker& ppmk)
   at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.BindToMoniker(String monikerName)

Caused by this line:

InDesignServer.Application app = (InDesignServer.Application)(System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.BindToMoniker("configuration_noport"));

The server is successfully running with the no configuration parameters therefore the configuration name by default should be "configuration_noport".

Any idea why it's throwing this error? This is a C# 4.0 console application connecting to Indesign Server CS 5 (7.0).

Can anyone from Adobe please offer some more insight on this matter? I have encountered the excact same issues and not been able to find any answers or clues.
Test Steps involved:

- start a named indesign server instance in a cmd using: indesignserver -configuration testServer (and seeing that it's using 'testServer' when starting up)
- running a sample using BindtoMoniker() always works using VS and the built-in dev WebServer and connects to my named instance 'testServer' but never with IIS.
- tried to grant as much as possible to IIS pool identity, DCOM settings etc...no luck
- impersonating as Admin in code and making sure the current thread is authenticated, no luck

- all I can is to fire up new COM instances with IIS using the new:... syntax but not get the named one

Hi, did you tried by this way?

System.Type indAppType = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("InDesignServer.Application");

InDesignServer.Application objInDesignServerApp = (InDesignServer.Application)Activator.CreateInstance(indAppType, true);

for me it worked well
