Trouble upgrading to Sanon SA

Hello, I am trying to upgrade an application that was previously running the free
version of Saxon to Saxon SA. I am getting the error:
{"java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.saxonica.validate.SchemaAwareConfiguration, saxon9sa, Version=9.1.0.1,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e1fdd002d5083fe6"} This happens right at the
point when I try to create a new processor by using processor = new Processor(true); .
Bizarely, If I use a function that worked before the upgrade that creates a non-scehma
aware proccessor ( by using Processor processor = new Processor(); ) , then everything
works fine. I have copied the entire bin directory of the saxonsa9-1-0-1n.zip to a
folder at C:\Dev\ThirdParty\Saxon 9 SA\bin. My Visual Studio project references the dlls
from that folder. I have also put the license file in that folder as well. My Path
environmental variable looks like this with Saxon at the very end: C:\Program
Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Java\lib;C:\Program Files\CA\Dcs\DMScripting;C:\Program
Files\CA\DCS\CAWIN;C:\PROGRA~1\FileNET\Shared;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program

8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies;C:\Dev\ThirdParty\Saxon 9 SA\bin My SAXON_HOME
environmental variable looks like this: C:/Dev/ThirdParty/Saxon 9 SA/ Can you help me
figure out what is wrong? Thanks, Jim

The saxon.dll code does a dynamic load of this class whenever you try to create a
schema-aware Processor object (which explains why it doesn't fail when you create a
non-schema-aware processor). My understanding of dynamic loading under .NET is that
there are two things that work: placing the assembly in the same directory as the
initial .exe application, and placing it in the Global Assembly Cache. I would recommend
installing in the GAC (which you don't seem to have tried). There's a simple script to
install DLLs in the GAC (install-gac.cmd) provided with the product, but it doesn't
always work (depends on your security settings). I find it's better to use the .NET
administration tools which you can find via the control panel - Administrative Tools /
Microsoft .NET Configuration / Manage the Assembly Cache / Add an Assembly to the Cache.
As far as I'm aware this isn't affected by anything you do with the PATH, with
SAXON_HOME, or with cross-assembly references created by the compiler or set in Visual
Studio.
