AppFabric wont run on w2k8

Question

I have an application which acts as an appfabric client running on another server. The app runs fine on w2k3 but not on w2k8.

It always gives this error:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Client, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Client, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'

Im running out of options. Ive tried copying the dlls's to system32 directory, installed appfabric cache client, regasm, copy them to a certain dir.

What can I do?

Answer 1

fixed. putting the client dlls in a folder that was in the path was not enough, had to put them in the current work dir of the client application

Answer 2

I solved it!

In my case the problem was with Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache.dll

Here is the solution
