How are you building the solution with CruiseControl? Are you using the
MSBuild task or the devenv task?
Have you tried building from the command line without using CC.
Other things to check would be:
Environment variables
Project build order
Find out where the dlls are being built to
Check that your service account has permissions to copy files to the
output folder
Kind regards,
Tim

builds fine manually with same settings?
HI Ruben - thanks for helping.
What do you mean with "reference path", do you mean the reference for
the not found dll on the proejct that looks for it?
It is pointing with an import to an output folder where the other
project is supposed to copy on post build the dll. If running with
CC.NET service dll is not in this output folder - if manually It is
there (so it doesn't fail).
I will try to debug the problem using the console app instead of the
service.
Any other idea?
