FileNotFoundException while watching variables in debug mode

Question

I have this piece of code (well I have the issue everywhere)

When I debug this, break in the funcion, try to watch some variables. And I keep getting a FileNotFoundException

    public void PayrollActivityCodeTest()
    {
        using(var pr = new ActivityCodeProcess())
        {
            pr.Add();
            pr.WorkingEntity.PayrollConfiguration.Provinces = PayrollProvincesType.QC | PayrollProvincesType.ON;

            pr.WorkingEntity.ActivityCodeId = "01";
            //pr.WorkingEntity.Rates.CodeByProvinceCollection.First().CodeValueCollection.FirstOrDefault().Value
            Assert.AreEqual(2, pr.WorkingEntity.Rates.CodeByProvinceCollection.Count);
        }
    }

But the "missing" DLL is in the folder, it's not readonly or any other flags Windows has.

What is logged if you enable logging in [fuslogvw](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e74a18c4(v=vs.110).aspx)? I expect another dependency to fail. — rene, Apr 19 '16 at 13:43
Is P: a network drive, by any chance, and are you running VS/the debugger elevated? Mapped drives aren't visible under elevated credentials. A possible workaround is to use the full UNC path instead. — Jeroen Mostert, Apr 19 '16 at 13:47
and what process monitor says? https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 — Miłosz Wierzbicki, Apr 19 '16 at 13:49
@JeroenMostert Nop it's not network, and yes VS is in Admin mode. — poudigne, Apr 19 '16 at 13:50
@MiłoszWierzbicki looking at the process monitor. What am I supposed to look for? — poudigne, Apr 19 '16 at 13:51

I'm working on a c# Excel plugin with ExcelDna and this actually made previously `FileNotFoundException` fields appear correctly in the debugger. Thank you! – foxx1337 Sep 29 '17 at 13:52
