# Plug-in Fails to Load from Network Share

If you try to load a plug-in from a shared network server that wasn't added to the GAC (Global Assembly Cache), it will fail to load.

## Solution

You need to give your plug-in a strong name key and move it into the GAC:

1. In Visual Studio .NET, open the .csproj project file.

2. Create a strong name key for your plug-in.

3. Recompile the plug-in.

4. From a command-prompt, type the following to add the assembly to the GAC:

    gacutil /i \servername\<plugin_path>\YourPluginName.dll
