appreciated. Just to re-iterate not a consitent error.

The indexing server is not running on my machine and I am still
getting this problem. Do you have any other suggestions?

This may be of help, in the past:-
-------------------------------------
This is due to the fact that in ASP.NET any dll that is referenced must
either
be in a directory called bin inside the applications direcotry, or must be
in
the Global Assembly Cache.

Resolution

=============

To resolve this we tried it both ways. We added a bin directory that
contained
the dll, and this worked. Then we registered the dll in the GAC by dragging
and dropping the file into the Assebly folder using two instances of
Windows
Explorer as documented in this article:

--------------------------------------
Parser Error Message: File or assembly name Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls,
or one of
its dependencies, was not found.

Cause:
======
- The directory in IIS which contained the ASP.NET pages was not
marked as
an application.
- This is required for the code to work correctly.
- To mark the directory as an application, follow the steps
outlined
below:

1) In the IIS management console, right-click on the directory in
question.
2) Choose Properties.
3) In the Virtual Directory property page, go to the Application
Settings
Section and hit the Create Button.
4) This will create an Application in IIS for that folder.
