The problem is that .NET will not load DLLs which are not local to the machine. You need to increase the trust level of the local network (intranet) to fix this problem.
a) Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration->My Computer->Runtime Security Policy (see <image1>)
b) Click on: Adjust internet zone> Next -> Local Intranet
c) Adjust the level of trust to Full Trust (see <image2>)
You may experience that the options above are not available on your machine. You then would need to install the .NET 2.0 SDK from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=fe6f2099-b7b4-4f47-a244-c96d69c35dec&displaylang=en
