Windows Server 2008.
VC x64 and x32 both installed.
CK DLL loaded into GAC on both dev and server.
CK DLL is NOT a trial.

DLL Reference in C# class from GAC on local machine:
C:WindowsMicrosoft.NetassemblyGAC_64ChilkatDotNet4v4.0_9.5.0.52__eb5fc1fc52ef09bdChilkatDotNet4.dll

Verified DLL exists (both dev and server):
C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETassemblyGAC_32ChilkatDotNet4v4.0_9.5.0.52eb5fc1fc52ef09bd
C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETassemblyGAC_64ChilkatDotNet4v4.0_9.5.0.52eb5fc1fc52ef09bd

.NET 4.0, instanced via DLL from MVC3 project. DLL loads and operates correctly when running locally in VS2010 however the error occurs when project is published.
