i have a strange problem with a VB.Net Windows Application.
On my computer(the development PC) it executes the newest version of the exe and dll’s but on the computer of my fellow(he is not a developer and cant debug it) an older version is executed. He has overwritten all files with the new version:

I dont know where to start looking for the reason.
EDIT: the first thing i’ve done was to restart the pc of my fellow but that was of no use.
When is a dll installed in the global assembly cache? Because i’ve searched for it in the gac with gacutil.exe but not found:
C:>C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\gacutil.exe /l Rule.dll
Microsoft (R) .NET Global Assembly Cache Utility. Version 1.1.4318.0

The Global Assembly Cache contains the following assemblies:
The cache of ngen files contains the following entries:
Number of items = 0
I’ve also looked into the assembly folder but not found any of these dll’s there.
Additional info: one of the dll’s is loaded dynamically in the codebehind:
System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom(“Rule.dll”)
The others are referenced in the particular project.
When you say that he’s overwritten all versions, are you really sure about that? For example, is it possible that there’s a version in the GAC that he don’t find if he just do a search on the filesystem?
