I have made an app using the microsoft solver foundation, and its great. But my problem is that my client haven't installed the microsoft solver foundation, so when the run the program they got this error:

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Solver.Foundation, Version=3.0.2.10889, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I think its because it is installed into the GAC, but I can do that on the clients machine, are there any work around?

Maybe I could use the dll only?

Have you tried to put the dll next to your exe? – Kamolas81 Feb 27 '13 at 17:12
Yes, and also tried to "Package the dll along with your application and refer it in your application." but it does not work – Mads Monrad Feb 27 '13 at 17:16
@MadsMonrad - So require your client install it. You can even have your installer run the microsoft solver foundation before it installs your application. – Security Hound Feb 27 '13 at 18:21
I don't wish to install something on a clients PC. So that is not a option. – Mads Monrad Feb 27 '13 at 18:31
Try to check if the solver foundation has any dependencies that are installed into the GAC and put those dependencies next to your .exe – Kamolas81 Feb 28 '13 at 10:24
@MadsMonrad Did you find the solution to this? – Dan Dec 01 '15 at 06:25
Nope, my solution was not to use solver foundation :( – Mads Monrad Dec 02 '15 at 07:03
