Customizing ArcReader 10.2 with new licensing changes?

Hi All,

Not sure if this is the proper place to post this, if not please let me know. Several years ago I wrote a customized version of ArcReader (VB.NET) using the publisher controls. Back in the version 9 days as long as I was only using the Publisher Controls we were able to install the customized version on a machine that only had the full version of ArcReader installed.

I am now in the process of updating the software to version 10.2 and am running into issues with licensing. I am able to get it working on my development computer by binding to a license like this:

ESRI.ArcGIS.RuntimeManager.Bind(ESRI.ArcGIS.ProductCode.ArcReader)

This requires a reference to ESRI.ArcGIS.system.version.dll.

This works in development but when I try and run the published application I get an error that ESRI.ArcGIS.System.Version.dll 10.2.0.0 is not registered in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).

Does anyone know what I would need to install on the client computer that will give me access to the DLL? (I have the full version of ArcReader installed) Or is there something else I am missing perhaps?

Hope that makes sense, and thanks in advance for the assist.
