SYMPTOMS

You write a code that references the Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService.dll file. This file should be located in the following folder on the server that is running Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010:
Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\ISAPI

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, you can obtain the Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService.dll file from the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).

  1. At a command prompt, locate the following folder:
    drive:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService\14.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c>
    Note The drive placeholder is the drive where your Windows operating system is installed on the server.
  2. Copy the Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService.dll file to the required location, and then reference it.
