enable Assembly Load Trace

It will describe the binding failure (if this is due to an assembly binding failure, instead of a loading failure after the file is found). The exception may already include the log. If not, to get it, run fuslogvw.exe. If you don't have fuslogvw.exe already, install the Framework SDK.

For pre-v2.0: click on "Log Failures." If this is an ASP.NET or .NET Windows service app, select the Custom option and using regedit, set [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\LogPath] to point to an existing directory (like c:\mylogs, not c:\). If you need to log all binds, not just failing ones, set [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\ForceLog] as a DWORD value to 1.

For v2: click on "Settings," then choose "Log bind failures to disk" if you only care about the failures or "Log all binds to disk" if you want to see all binding requests.

To turn on failure logging during a test run instead of by hand, have your script set [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\LogFailures] as a DWORD value to 1 using regedit.

Then, click "OK." Now, re-run the process. Next, click "Refresh" in fuslogvw, and a line should appear for each binding failure (or for each bind, if ForceLog is set). Now, double-click on the line in the "Application" column for the interesting bind, and a web page should come up with the Fusion log.
