Why I am having difficulties with Visual Basic trying to locate MatchUp DLLs?

One particularly bothersome problem with Visual Basic is that it has difficulty locating DLLs. In most compiled languages, the first place that Windows will look for a called DLL is the folder where the compiled .exe is located. So most people will install the MatchUp DLLs in the same folder as their executable and never have a problem. Visual Basic.NET seems to have alleviated most of the past problems in locating the dll. Check the reference properties to find the path of the .NET dll. Make sure you have copied mdMatchUp.dll to that folder.
