Hi Schoo,

>From the msdn as below, if our no-touch deployment application needs
another dll, we need to put the dll in the same directory, so that the clr
will probe and load it.

Put your executable out on a remote Web server, and let the user navigate
to it by entering the URL in Microsoft Internet Explorer or by clicking on
a hyperlink to that URL (for example, http://RemoteWebServer/myExe.exe).
The executable will be downloaded to the assembly download cache on the
client machine and launched from that location. DLLs required by the
executable can be referenced as normal in your code. Unless informed
otherwise (see #2 below), the common language runtime (CLR) will look for
the DLLs in the same directory on the remote Web server as the executable,
and the CLR will download them into the assembly download cache from there,
as needed.

I am not sure if you have copy your windows application together with
OnCallDB.DLL in the same directory of the windows application EXE image,
you may have a try if you did not do that.

Also if we did not put the dll in the same directory of the exe image, we
will get the binding log as below.
Please note that the clr will try to probe the dll in the directory where
the Appbase pointed to, i.e. the http://localhost.

=== Pre-bind state information ===

Here I assume that the fuslogvw log you provided is when you access to the
exe in the syntax as below.
http://webserver/testapp.exe

So I think the binding log should be in the directory as below.
http://webserver

So far it is strange that the clr will check the path as file:///c:/....,
can you double check if you access to the exe using url.
1. open internet explore
2. access the exe in the url address bar, http://webserver/testapp.exe

You may have a try and let me know the result.
