Additional error information:
This normally occurs when you don't have a dependent file of the assembly not in GAC . That is an orchestration which references other Dll's must have the dependencies already GAC'd
Another variation of this enlistment error is OutOfMemory exception which is due to some limitation of WMI , which can be increased with a custom Script
But in our case this was not the case I checked and rechecked the dependencies of our project they were all there .
What we found out was that our Production server did not have Biztalk SP1 applied whereas the dev machine had SP1.
So apparently the issue is still I guess of DLL's Missing in GAC but not of the application but that of Biztalk Later version Assemblies !!
