entity framework 4.1 on web server

I am getting an error when I delpoy my solution to the web server saying that it cannot load the assembly Entity Framework 4.1. I have recently installed .NET framework 4 on the web server in order to make use of the new entity framework. Do I need to install EF 4.1 on the web server or is there any way to get around that?

I have tried to copy local the Entity Framework reference in my project.

I figured out what was going on.

When I did a publish to the file system it did not copy over the Entity Framework dll even though I set Copy local to true. Maybe this is an error in the publishing feature. I found the dll in the bin / debug folder of my project and copied them over the web server.

Works great!

Thanks to everyone that helped!

Entity Framework 4.1 isn't part of .net 4. You should go ahead and install it on the server if you can. If not, make sure you set CopyLocal=True on the relevant references and see if that's enough to let it work (not sure if it is for EF 4.1 or not).
