We got an error while starting the SmartAssembly8, it was worked before but the missed file name is not present on error

I had a talk with RedGate support on this and for us the cause was Windows Defender flagging a temporary dll under the the user temp directory as containing a trojan. Telling Windows Defender to ignore this makes SmartAssembly run again.

You're welcome. I'm glad the things I learned could be put to use helping someone else!
