[Ironpython-users] Assembly references: file does not exist?

[Dave Peterson]

Thanks Zachary,

But I'm confused.   Doesn't the fact that a C# app loads the assembly just fine mean that the CLR can load it ok?   And given that fuslogw is part of VS or Win SDK, I'm thinking it won't help with figuring out why ipy.exe won't.   Then again, I can't explain why ipy would be doing anything special to load an assembly either, so it can't hurt to try this tool.

I'll see if I can copy fuslogw.exe over from a dev machine to the machine I'm planning to run ipy scripts on (can't install VS or WinSDK there directly.)

In the .NET platform, we have a tool called fusionlogw.exe that you can 
use to troubleshoot your issue.  This utility provides additional 
information on why the CLR cannot load an assembly. It's reasonably easy 
to use, as well. The official documentation is at
