Warning: The dependancy ... cannot be copied to the run directory...

[Rob R. Ainscough]

When I run my Test application I get the following error:

Warning: The dependency 'MyCompany.Utilities, Version=1.0.1852.27525,
Culture=neutral' in project 'MyCompany.Remote' cannot be copied to the run
directory because it would overwrite the reference 'MyCompany.Utilities,
Version=1.0.1852.27795, Culture=neutral'.

MyCompany.Utilities, MyCompany.Remote, are class libraries (compiled to DLL)
I created in a "common" solution. I added these projects and references to
my Test application so I could test them. When I run my appliation I get
the above warning. When I make a call to a method contained in a class in
MyCompany.Remote, it triggers an exception (which is basically the same
error above).

If I set "Copy Local" to false on the added MyCompany.Utilities references
and MyCompany.Remote reference in those projects, but leave the Startup
Project (Test app) references to "Copy Local" = True -- I don't get the
warning, but my Test app will still crash as soon as it references a class
method within MyCompany.Remote.

Can someone offer any suggestions? And/Or tell me why "Copy Local" is even
a option for Added References?

Not sure how to proceed with this -- remove all my Added projects (class
libraries) and re-add them to my Test app? Manually copy my shared DLLs
(class libaries) into my Test app dir?

If .NET has one major weakness, it is the IDE and file management -- it
wants to copy different versions of files everywhere. Argh!! Frustrating!
