c# - .net local assembly load failed with CAS policy

Question

We are getting the following assembly load error. The assembly is loaded from the local path "C:Program FilesASWorx ProductsASWorxBin". The problem is not there with the old version of the binary. The issue appears when we have sent the new binary through e-mail. Build settings are not changed. How can we correct the issue? The issue appears in Win7 32 bit machine

File name: 'file:///C:Program FilesASWorx ProductsASWorxBinASConnexDI.dll' ---> System.NotSupportedException: An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location which would have caused the assembly to be sandboxed in previous versions of the .NET Framework. This release of the .NET Framework does not enable CAS policy by default, so this load may be dangerous. If this load is not intended to sandbox the assembly, please enable the loadFromRemoteSources switch. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=155569 for more information.

From the link in the error message:

If an application has been copied from the web, it is flagged by Windows as being a web application, even if it resides on the local computer. You can change that designation by changing the file properties, or you can use the element to grant the assembly full trust. As an alternative, you can use the UnsafeLoadFrom method to load a local assembly that the operating system has flagged as having been loaded from the web.

Try opening the file properties and clicking 'Unblock':
