.NET Windows Service problem

I have a VB6 ActiveX.exe that I'm creating from a VBScript. I also have a
VB.Net Windows Service that needs access to the same instance of this
ActiveX.exe. If I use CreateObject, the service will create a separate
instance of the control. I'm experimenting with GetObject but am running
into a "Cannot create ActiveX component" error. Is there a solution to this
problem??? I'm at a complete loss here. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

Off the top of my head, COM+ (MTS in WIndows NT) comes to mind, as you can
set a package to run and get an instance relatively easy. NOTE that you will
still have to have a .NET wrapper for the COM component.
