Thank you for the reply.
How can this be achieved. I have seen in one of the forums that this can be

Very simple, just use the file property Assembly=.net that way the file
will go to the GAC regardless of its position in the directory tree. Notice
that if you want the DLL also in Program Files\YourApp\bin, you need another

There's no way to get a more detailed error printout without modifying the code

The easiest way to diagnose the issue would be to capture the command-line from
