Anybody had similar problems and could help me figure this out?
Strange this is that the same application works on other computer and loads the assembly from network share just fine.

    When an assembly loads from a network share, it runs in the context of an intranet application.

    By default, an intranet application doesn’t have file IO permiessions.

    You have a variety of options, from granting IO permissions to all intranet services (bad), or just trusting the particular assembly/folder you want to load with the minimum required permissions.

    A good overview of the tools available is on MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zdc263t0(v=vs.80).aspx

    The scope at which you apply policy can be the machine or enterprise level, enterprise level applies to the whole domain, which sounds like it will be most suitable for your application.

    If this error only occurs on a few PCs, its possible they have something different about either their group policies, different machine policies, or the permissions of the user accessing the assembly are different.
