I'm trying to get a web application working with a reference to Sap.Data.SQLAnywhere.v4.5 and having an issue running is locally. It works fine if deployed on the same server that 17 is installed (although it's returning data from a version 11 server as well).

I suspect the issue is it requires some more resource files (it kicked off wanting dblgen17.dll so I dropped a copy of that in resources and that error dropped) - now it's having a connection issue (0x80004005)..

Found this for an earlier edition

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.help.sqlanywhere.12.0.1/dbprogramming/adaptive-deploying-adodotnet-dev.html

So I added dbgen17.dll as a resource and a reference to policy.17.0.Sap.Data.SQLAnywhere.v4.5 (that also required Sap.Data.SQLAnywhere.v4.5.config)

Still throws the same connection error

Are there any other files it requires as additional resources? Can't find this information anywhere (no pun intended)

Connection string is like this
