Hi, I am using newtonsoft dll to parse json data in SSIS script task. This works as expected on my local machine but when deployed to SQL Server and run from SQL Server job throws error "Exception has been thrown by target of an invocation". I am trying to install newtonsoft dll to global assembly cache. In order to accomplish this do I have to install Newtonsoft to the server for instance its saved to C directory. Then install it to global assembly cache using gacutil. 

C:\Newtonsoft.Json.12.0.3\lib\net45\Newtonsoft.Json.dll

gacutil /i Newtonsoft.Json.dll

Thank you
