Hi! guys, this is the case, I've made a class library DLL ex. myClass.DLL and I referenced it in my Test.exe app, the program is running, the problem is that when It comes to Setup and deployment I want myClass.DLL to be in system folder, and the Test.exe stays in the Application Folder, but when I run it... there's an error saying.

"An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Could not load file or assembly 'myClass, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified".

by the way I set the System = True in the property window in myClass.dll

thanks.

You need to read this How the Runtime Locates Assemblies[^]

Placing your assembly in the system folder is NOT what you should do, ever.
