Location of referenced file in Interop DLL

Hi
I have a Windows Service I wrote in VB.NET 2003 a few years ago, at the time it worked. It references a VB6 DLL using Interop Services that in turn references other DLL's. The .NET Service and a test application can enter the code of the DLL but the problem is I get a file not found error when I it try the enter the code of the DLL referenced inside that.
The problem is not with the VB6 DLL, we have another application Access application we have uses this DLL with out any problems.
How can I find the location of referenced file? It is located in System32

Thanks in advance
Martin

Thanks but System32 is already in the path
I have tried copying the DLL that it can't find to all the places that the service or the other DLL run from

Perhaps the dll needs to be registered before it will run ?

The application just registers the dll. You can use the regsvr32 command to register it without installing the application, or add the dll registration to the setup of your new application.
