I have an Azure cloud project which makes use of mongodb worker roles. When running in the local emulator everything works fine, however when I deploy to an Azure staging area, the mongodb worker roles are stuck cycling and show a System.IO.FileNotFoundException. I connected to one of the virtual machines remotely and looked at the event viewer and found the following error:
An unhandled exception occurred. Type: System.IO.FileNotFoundException Process ID: 1936 Process Name: WaWorkerHost Thread ID: 4 AppDomain Unhandled Exception for role MongoDB.WindowsAzure.MongoDBRole_IN_0 Exception: Could not load file or assembly 'mswacdmi, Version=1.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies.

Why does this work locally and not on Azure? I don't understand much about assemblies and such, but I am learning as I go along. One of the things suggested online is to check the properties of references assemblies and set 'Copy Local' to true, I have tried this but still the same error.
