Hi.

The docs say the <probing> element needs to refer to subdirectories of
the application main directory. My windows application needs to locate
an assembly in a directory above the application directory. Is it
possible? Can I use the <probing> element to locate an assembly
anywhere on the machine?

Thanks,
Robert Scheer

Yes, if you load it explicitly with Assembly.LoadFrom(), or create a
new appdomain and set its base directory to the assembly location.

Can I use the <probing> element to locate an assembly
anywhere on the machine?

No
