Can you specify the steps you took to install the new DLL ?
Also exand a bit on 'can't get it to work' :-}
Are you now building against .NET 4 (check the project app.config file) ?
Use Gacutil to check if the required DLLs are indeed installed in the GAC (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ex0ss12c.aspx)
If it *is* in the cache then it also should appear in the .NET tab of the 'Add reference' dialog (which should be filtered to .Net Framework 4 or probably .Net Framework 4 Client Profile if this is a WinForms app
IAC if you are building against .NET 4 then there should be no real requirement for the DLL to be in the GAC. Simply add a reference to it by browsing to its location.....
