Mark,

The class that it can't create is the StrongNameMembershipCondition. You
can only use the "-custom <file>" syntax if the default constructor for the
specified membership condition class has public accessibility. The default
constructor the StrongNameMembershipCondition is accessible only within the
mscorlib.dll assembly, so code in caspol.exe can't invoke it.

That said, you can use the "-strong" command line argument to obtain your
desired effect.

HTH,
Nicole
