run script without admin (COM exception failed to initialize provideX library)

Question

I see that there are lots of questions about this in the past, but I can't seem to find a concrete answer on how to move forward with it. I realize it has something to do with DCOM, registering the DLL, running client side verse server side.... But I can't put it all together in a way that works. Ultimately this will be deployed to IIS and I don't want the IIS user account to be an admin. Using a regular user account will return the inner exception: COMException: Failed to initialize the ProvideX library.

Giving the account i am calling the object on fukk access to the server's \MAS90 directory seems to have solved this particular issue. 
 I also had issues with DCOM again (windows event log told me specifically, in this case) with IIS. I gave the application pool user full access to the DCOM on the IIS VM.... but when I get a chance I'm going to edit the registry per https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-performance/error-event-id-10016-distributedcom/130522d2-beac-4495-980a-65e1e3279901 .
