I have read other posts on SO regarding VS's Add References dialog and how it populates assemblies. However, even after looking in Reference Assemblies folder and using the AssemblyFolders registry key for 32-bit and 64-bit, I am still unable to locate some assemblies, such as Unity/P&P and Office assemblies, when searching for them programmatically. Am I missing something?

A:
You can use the Assembly Binding Log Viewer (Fuslogvw.exe) to see where the assemblies that are actually used exists on disk.

Umm, how does this relate to my question? I know exactly where they are on disk by looking at their properties in VS. What I need is finding them programmatically, just like *Add Reference* dialog does.

As I understod the question you couldn't find the assemblies on disk. Not that you were looking for them with your program.

Ahh, I see. No, I actually know very well where they are, considering that I can look at the properties for the reference.

Yes, but in runtime they might not be where you think since a running assembly can be in a cache folder somewhere. Anyway, it was a misreading on my part.
