FileNotFoundException (DLL not found)

I am getting this strange error on one of the client machines. It throws a FileNotFoundException, but this DLL is definitely right in the executable folder .. Why can't it find it? Please advise..

Psychic debugging, since you didn't provide full details of the exception details, is if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit mismatch:

  • Your executable file is AnyCPU
  • The linked DLL (or link below) is x86
  • The machine executing the executable is 64 bits


Basically, you'll have to recompile your C # executable with an x86 platform if you have an x86 DLL dependency (usually an unmanaged DLL).

An assembly may be missing one of the dependent assemblies.
