I have a simple console test program ConsoleApplication1.exethat references another assembly clipper.dll.
On the three machines on which I tested them, you can place both files, for example. c:\test\and execute ConsoleApplication1.exe.
On another machine, which is the client machine, the launch ConsoleApplication1.execauses the program to crash, and the following information is printed on the console:
C:\test>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 7C46-414F
Directory of C:\test

This is strange for me, although I do not understand the rules for loading the dll comprehensively, I thought that it would look for CWD for the specified file. And the fact that this same setup works on other computers that I tried is also odd.
Curiously, on a working computer, if I remove clipper.dll, then run it:
C:\Temp>ConsoleApplication1.exe
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or ass
embly 'clipper, Version=1.0.3975.26584, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or
