The DLL is installed via an assembly - either in the GAC or a private
assembly.  Thus, that DLL literally does not exist anywhere on PATH (it
*may* be found next to one of the other DLLs, but that would be by
"chance").  As I implied in that patch, even if it *was* found on the path,
attempting to load it without doing so via an assembly ends up with a
runtime error anyway.

Cheers,

Mark
