Hello Peter,
I am glad to hear that we have found the problem.
For the question, Dave has provided good information on it.
When .NET runtime probes for the assembly, it uses the following steps:
1) If configuration and publisher policy do not affect the original
reference and if the bind request was created using the Assembly.LoadFrom
method, the runtime checks for location hints.
2) If a codebase is found in the configuration files, the runtime checks
only this location. If this probe fails, the runtime determines that the
binding request failed and no other probing occurs.
3) Probes for the assembly using the heuristics described in the probing
section. If the assembly is not found after probing, the runtime requests
the Windows Installer to provide the assembly. This acts as an
install-on-demand feature.
There is a good MSDN link on how the runtime locates assemblies in .NET
programming. Please refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/htm
l/cpconhowruntimelocatesassemblies.asp for details.
Does that answer your question?

!Hi
!
!I have found the problem. The assembly for the ISDev
!object where in a different directory to the main
!executable. Is there any way of defining a directory path
!to search for assemblies in this case?
