TypeLoadException when removing reference from content loader

[chrisevans9629]

When I remove the MonoGame.Extended.Content.Pipeline dll, I get the error below:

System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

I also cannot use bitmap fonts. When I use them I get this error:

This works on my desktop at home, but when I pulled the project onto my surface pro, it did not.

What version of MonoGame does the bug occur on:

• MonoGame 3.7

What operating system are you using:

• Windows

What MonoGame platform are you using:

• DesktopGL

When running the command line I get this error:

Duplicate of #6942. It's a critical monogame bug but they don't seem to want to do anything about it...

[chrisevans9629]

The solution was placing all the dlls in the same folder where the reference in the content pipeline was loaded.
