ASP.NET Web Page is Broken When ABCPDF component is Loaded (dump files attached here)

Question

I am using ABCPDF to convert HTML to PDF. The version is 7.0.4.2. With the same codes, it works fine in my development server (Windows 7) and Production Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard). However when I deploy the ASP.NET application to a bland new server (same Window version as the working production server). The page is broken when the ABCPDF component is loaded. I managed to get the dump files. There are two folders are created in the dump directory. One folder called default. The ABCPDF has been bound correctly there; another folder called NativeImage. The component image can not be found. Here are the dump files. Any one can see what is wrong here. Thanks,

1. Dump file in Default folder -

Answer 1

Does ABCPDF has a non-managed library that needs to be installed? Make sure you've run the installer for ABCPDF on the new server.

Answer 2

Their version 7 does not work with IE9. Internally IE components are called from their DLL. After downgraded to IE8 in server, it works now
