Why not actually install MoMa?  Are MoMa's assemblies in the directory
with MoMa?

MoMa consists of MoMA.Analyzer.dll, Mono.Cecil.dll, and MoMA.exe.  If
the assemblies can't be found then the EXE won't work [of course].  The
message "The assembly was not found in the Global Assembly Cache, a path
listed in the MONO_PATH environment variable, or in the location of the
executing assembly" ***exactly*** describes your problem.

Things work better if you just slow down a bit and contemplate the error
messages.
