So far I've been unable to find the cause. I first thought it might be a .NET4.0 thing and swapped to .NET2.0 but it kept failing.

On stackoverflow and other resources the most useful answer is: "this is a .NET error, migrate to WCF".
It may be related to some of those new and fancy security restrictions introduced with Win7.
