I need this badly in my program, but everytime I add a reference in 2008 it gives this error, it works fine in 2010 but I have certain add-ons for 2008 that I need. Any ideas? Copy Local is set to false but no matter what I do it wont change.
 
If the library is compiled for .Net 4.0 you can't use in VB 2008 which compiles for .Net 3.5 by default. If this is the case the reference has an exclamation icon on it in Solution Explorer, a warning about the library being built by newer runtime, and the warning you posted "The referenced component "some.dll" could not be found". If so you may possibly compile the library for .Net 3.5 instead (from VB 2010).
 
I didnt create the .dll file though, I dont know if I am allowed to say it on here? but its a dll for a proxy, you write a single line of code that changes the webbrowsers ip to an external allowing you to bypass security checks and stuff. How would I go about fixing that?
