I have a .net 3.5 WinForms application that runs fine on my machine, but on another machine it immediately crashes with a system.io.fileloadexception. Unfortunately, there are absolutely no details on which file failed to load, so I do not know where the problem actually is.

I believe I know which one it could be (SQL Server Compact edition), but before I aimlessly hunt, I wonder if there is a proper way to find out what caused the fileloadexception, other than using FileMon from SysInternals.

The only error message is:

EventType clr20r3, P1 myapplication.exe, P2 2.1.0.0, P3 490eca78, P4 myapplication, P5 2.1.0.0, P6 490eca78, P7 2e, P8 21, P9 system.io.fileloadexception, P10 NIL.
