Check the '...\HiQPdf.dep' resource file can be found near the HiQPdf.dll assembly and the user has read and execute permissions for this file

I am using HiQPdf plugin to convert a page (a customer invoice) to pdf on ASP.NET MVC app. It works fine on localhost but throws error after I publish it to Godaddy shared hosting server. This is the error it throws:

Error 0x4EC. Check the 'G:**\domain.com\Content\HiQPdf.dep' resource file can be found near the HiQPdf.dll assembly and the user has read and execute permissions for this file. Call SetDepFilePath() method if you placed the HiQPdf.dep in a different location

I have been searching since yesterday with no avail, I have confirmed that the HiQPdf.dep exist in Content folder, these are what I've tried and all worked locally but none solved the issue on GoDaddy:

  1. Copied the HiQPdf.dep to Content folder and used the SetDepFilePath() method to refer to it.

    // init model var model = _db.Invoice.Where(x => x.InvoiceId == invoiceId && !x.Draft) .ToArray().Select(x => new InvoiceVM(x)).FirstOrDefault();

        // convert a page to string (update the path to the right page)
    string html = RenderViewToString(ControllerContext, "~/views/home/_InvoiceDoc.cshtml", model);

    // start creating pdf doc
    // the base URL to resolve relative images and css
    string thisPageUrl = this.ControllerContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;
    string baseUrl = thisPageUrl.Substring(0, thisPageUrl.Length -"Home/ConvertThisPageToPdf".Length);

    // instantiate the HiQPdf HTML to PDF converter
    HtmlToPdf htmlToPdfConverter = new HtmlToPdf();

    htmlToPdfConverter.SetDepFilePath(Server.MapPath("~/Content/HiQPdf.dep"));

    // render the HTML code as PDF in memory
    byte[] pdfBuffer = htmlToPdfConverter.ConvertHtmlToMemory(html, baseUrl);

    // send the PDF file to browser
    FileResult fileResult = new FileContentResult(pdfBuffer, "application/pdf");
    fileResult.FileDownloadName = "Invoice-" + model.InvoiceNumber + ".pdf";

    return fileResult;

  2. I changed permissions for both the HiQPdf.dep file and Content folder on GoDaddy to full control, didn't work too.

  3. I have set the trust level to Full in the web.config, still solving the issue.
