  • File or assembly name or one of its dependencies not found?

    We've recently had a customer contact us about an obscure error having to do with a dependency/assembly not found.   It looks like it's a temp file produced by .NET during compilation and is for some reason not found afterwards or during.   I've dug around and found that there are a couple of solutions to this issue, neither of which worked for the client. One was to disable indexing services so that no read locks would be performed on the temp dir that the .net framework uses, and the other was to register the DLL's into the GAC.   Problem is that the DLL or assembly its talking about doesn't exist in the applicaiton it's a temp file.  Error is below, if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.
