If your app doesn't run, it's a good bet it's not there.
Here's my point: A DLL is an essential part of a web application. It isn't
one of those things that the web app can live with or without. If the DLL
isn't there, you have a major problem on your hands. You might just as well
ask, how do I programmmatically check if my System32 folder is there prior
to using any DLLs in it? Just make sure you deploy it!
