Location of Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerRuntime.dll?

A late-night search for a SharePoint client DLL that isn't in the standard directories — and the quick path to find it.

Well it’s pretty late here (almost 1 o’clock at night) and I’m still working.

Just spent 15 minutes looking for a small DLL which I couldn’t find.

Where Is It?

The Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerRuntime.dll appears to not be in the standard directories — at least I didn’t find it there.

The simple thing to do is to copy/paste the path below and you’re good to go on creating custom WCF:

C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerRuntime\14.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerRuntime.dll

Stupid? Maybe. But it did the job and references the file correctly. 🙂

Hope it helps someone.
