"Could not load file or assembly" Error Com-Enabled .Net Assembly

Question

Currently, I am stuck with a classic asp project, that needs to call a .Net Assembly. It was working, until the customer had to wipe their server. I was able to reregister the .Net Assembly, but I get this error during runtime:

MyDll error '80070002'

Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Here is the asp code, not sure if it will help.

set Inst = Server.CreateObject("MyDll.AddressValidator")

If Inst.ProcessAddress(Adr1,City, State, Zip) Then
   'code
End If

Is any of the information here useful? - msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404285(v=vs.110).aspx – Quickwitted

John, it did help. I hadn't thought I would need gacutil to load the Newtonsoft json dll, but it worked!!! – Knit

If you've solved the problem you're allowed to answer your own question, you worked it out, and it's useful for future reference. – Quickwitted

Answer 1

The resolution was to register the Newtonsoft dll in the GAC, using the gacutil executable. I thought it was enough to register my dll with regasm.exe and have the Newtonsoft dll in the same directory. Thanks to John prompting me with a link. I had read it before, but decided to stop, breath, and follow all the steps.
