SYMPTOMS
In a Web application that is built on the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (SP1), you try to retrieve a resource from a satellite assembly. However, you cannot retrieve the resource from the satellite assembly. This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:
 * Microsoft ASP.NET user impersonation is used in the application.
 * The impersonated user does not have permission to access the satellite assembly.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the satellite assembly is located in a directory other than the bin directory for the application. The assemblies that are located in the bin directory for the application are preloaded before user impersonation is applied. However, the assemblies that are not located in the bin directory for the application are not loaded until after user impersonation is applied. This includes the assemblies that are located in a subdirectory of the bin directory of the application. Therefore, the assemblies that are not located in the bin directory for the application are loaded by using the credentials of the impersonated user.
