Library in Global Assembly Cache can not Located

[StefanSchnell1]

Hello Community,
today I tried to load assemblies, which are available in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC), but unfortunately it doesn't work. I wanted to load two additional assemblies and a namespace.

The following errors occured.

If I changed the reference with a full path, I got these hint.

But with the full path my code works without problems.

I read here that the GAC is typically accessible to Blue Prism.

How can I implement that the libraries are used from the GAC, without specifying a path?
That would guarantee me version independence.

Thanks for hints and tips.
Best regards
Stefan

Hi @StefanSchnell1,

There's some information about loading DLLs in this thread. Something else you might consider is that if the DLLs you've placed in the GAC have requirements on any other files (ex additional DLLs) then BP has to be able to access those DLLs as well, otherwise loading of the GAC DLLs will fail.

Cheers,
