Visual Studio 2008 and VB.net 3.5 won't take a reference to the GoogleAPI dll under Windows XP

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Copying the Archibe Contents to a directory on the HDD
2. Creating a VB Windows Forms Project targeted at .Net 3.5
3. Referencing the dll in the Project always keeps telling it cannot find
the path to the dll
4. This only happens on Windows XP Pro SP 3 32 bit
5. On Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit it's working fine

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A correctly referenced Assembly entry in the Project

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Visual Studio 2008, VB.net, .NET Framework 3.5 sp1, Windows XP Pro 32bit
SP3, Happens with  GoogleTranslateAPI 0.3.x as Well as 0.4 alpha (didn't
test with google Search yet)

Please provide any additional information below.
I tried to install the dll into the GAC but that step fails telling me
there was no Manifest in the dll provided for install. Is there a way to
add the googleAPI for dotnet to the GAC? Maybe this might fix my problem
inside of Visual Studio.

Currently when I try to compile the Project referencing the Google API dll
it tells me it couldn't find the dll. I triple checked the paths to the dll
and they are correct. But somehow Visual Studio doesn't seem to accept the dll.

What else is there for me to Do to get it to work under WinXP

I also Wonder if I can use the Google Translate Classes through a Proxy?

Thank you very much in advance

Hi,
As you said, it works on Vista. And it works on my XP sp3. So I think it maybe
something wrong with your VS2008 or .NET or OS.
If you cannot fix your environment, you can just copy the source code into your 
(c#)
project directly. (All project is under MIT license)
About the proxy, you can set your OS default connecting with a proxy, this lib 
will
use the default connecting.

I found the cause of the Problem it was Related to panda Antivirus that was 
installed
on my Notebook. The Module TPSrv seems to block the dll Reference.
