Hi We were using an 32 bit application to restore database bak files programmatically. We used it in "32 bit windows 7 OS", having "sql server 2005" installed in it. And we faced no problems.
Now when we use the same application in "64 bit server 2012 r2 OS" and "sql server 2012 standard", the following exception is thrown:
"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified".

Please help.

Your project does not include the assembly... Make sure your project has the .dll file in the bin for this assembly.

How do you reference the assembly from your application. You could either provide the assembly within the application in bin folder or make sure that the correct version is available in GAC. Check the version you are referencing.

I've run into a similar issue. The easiest way to correct is right click on the reference in the project explorer, go to properties and make sure Copy Local is set to "Always".
