I have a report project that relies on a custom assembly. I just today made the switch to Windows 7 and the directory that I used to put my custom assembly in no longer exists! In Windows XP I put the assembly in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies
Now, when I go to the IDE folder in that path, there is no directory named PrivateAssemblies. Any ideas on where custom assemblies go in Windows 7 development environments?

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and I found the PrivateAssemblies sub folder in the IDE folder in a few seconds so you need to look again.

I figured it out. I am running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 and I was rushing and failed to make the distinction between "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)". The path in question is in the latter directory. Thanks for the response.
