I have face this and I searched the net with no solution. Then i’ve found few leads to the solution.

Problem:

if you have a farm and decided to add a Query server for Microsoft Office Search Service, you might face the following error on Windows Server 2008, IIS 7.0 and .NET 3.5 SP1 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 with SP2 and April CU:
