SSIS script task using WinSCP error

Hi,

I have developed an SSIS package in BIDS 2008 R2, which works great from the machine I developed it on. However, when I moved the package to the server, I get the following error:
Download Archives,,,6/5/2014 9:15:59 AM,6/5/2014 9:15:59 AM,1,0x,System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'WinSCPnet, Version=1.1.4.3970, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2271ec4a3c56d0bf' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'WinSCPnet, Version=1.1.4.3970, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2271ec4a3c56d0bf'
at ST_ce65898ba1554af38f9ffa906d6d024a.csproj.ScriptMain.Main()

I have added the WinSCPnet.dll to the following folders:
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies

I have also registered the assembly, using the following command:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe WinSCP.dll /codebase /tlb and it created the type library WinSCPnet.tlb in the \\prddsspm001\c$\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn folder

I have also added the path to the environment variables!

No luck with any of the above corrections. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Nick.

Hi, I am encountering the same issue, in a similar environment. I followed your suggestion prikryl, but it isn't illuminating for me what is wrong. This is the full exception:

Error: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'WinSCPnet, Version=1.1.4.3970, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2271ec4a3c56d0bf' or one of its dependencies.

I get this is an esoteric issue, with SSIS being what it is, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm stuck. WinSCP is in Microsoft SQL Server/100/DTS/Binn/ and Program Files (x86)/WinSCP/ and my script task is Using WinSCP; and has a reference to the dll contained in Program Files (x86)/WinSCP/.

Did you manage to resolve this issue ? I am having the same problem. Works fine on my local development environment but when i deploy the SSIS Package to my Production Server, I am receiving the same error.

I'm not an expert in SSIS. But in general, references to .NET libraries are not stored with paths in the compiled binary, no matter that you have an explicit path selected in reference in Visual Studio. I assume that when you develop locally, Visual Studio copies the WinSCPnet.dll to the project output directory for you (reference property Copy Local is enabled by default). That's why it's found when testing.

As you have found yourself meanwhile, you need to install the assembly to GAC:

I have now explicitly documented the error you were getting:
