First you need to ask yourself if this module is part of an assembly that can simply be uploaded to the applications Bin folder. If it is, then you need to check if that assembly is loaded to the applications Bin folder.

If it does not meet any of these criteria's you need to ask yourself if this assembly needs to be installed on the server, if it does then tell us what assembly it is and I can check if it is already installed on the server.

 

i am new to this and i am not sure what module it is or what assembly it belongs to. can you tell me how to tell this from the error message i posted?

 

Unfortunately you can't. Not through the error message. You may need to acquire the services of a programmer to help you with that. They may need to go through your codes for you.

 

i have an msi file that i have installed on our internal servers to deploy the assemblies. is there any way i can run that on Winhost to deploy what i need?

 

No, I'm afraid not. That will bypass the security we setup on our system, network, and servers, and can compromise the other accounts we host.
