System.IO.FileNotFoundException when using WebGrease via Commandline

Question

I'm trying to use WebGrease 1.6 via command line (also tried Developer Command Prompt for VS2013). When I run "wg options", I'm getting following error (screenshot attached)

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'WebGrease, Version=1.6.5135.21930, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. at WebGrease.Program.Main(String[] args)

I tried on 3 different development machines. Same issue is present on all.

I'm using:

• WebGrease.1.6.0
• Visual Studio 2013 Update 3
• Windows 8.1 (64 bit)

What am I missing? Any help solving this issue is much appreciated.

I've been having the same problem. However, if you copy the WebGrease.dll file from the lib folder to the tools folder it will work.
