	VS.NET doesn't look in the GAC for the assemblies in the reference
list, it looks in the registry for paths. Please add a path to the registry
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders
and for your assembly create a new key below that key like the ones already
there.
