Runtime error with Google Ads .NET client library latest release (2.5.0): "Could not load file or assembly 'grpc_csharp_ext.x64' or one of its dependencies"

Hi,

I've just updated to your latest .NET client library release (2.5.0 via Nuget), from 2.4.0, and my build (to .NET Framework 4.6) now won't run, giving this assembly file error message: "Could not load file or assembly 'grpc_csharp_ext.x64' or one of its dependencies. Could not find or load a specific file. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131621)"

If I roll back to your release 2.4.0 of the client libraries, everything works fine.

Any ideas how to fix gratefully received! I can see the file "grpc_csharp_ext.x64.dll" in the project /bin directory just fine, so I'm not sure what is causing this error message.

Further details: the problem happens both for Debug and Release builds, and I've tried cleaning the /bin build and rebuilding, but that doesn't help. My project uses ASP.NET Web API, and serves via IIS on Azure.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Clyde
