Kentico UserInfoProvider not working as expected in a console app

This code works fine within a Kentico website:

var users = UserInfoProvider.GetUsers();
for (int x = 0; x < users.Count(); x++
{
    UserInfo currentUser = users.ElementAt(x);
    currentUser.SetValue("AcceptsAlerts", equivalentSubscriber.Status != SubscriberStatus.Unsubscribed);
    UserInfoProvider.SetUserInfo(currentUser);
}

When I move the code to a console app, any calls to UserInfoProvider result in the error: "Object type 'cms.usersettings' not found"

For the initial call to get the users, I can do it like this in the console app:

DataSet usersds = new CMS.DataEngine.DataQuery("cms.user.selectall").Execute();

then loop through Table1 of the dataset using the user data:

UserInfo currentUser = new UserInfo(dtUsers.Rows[x]);

All is fine and working, until I come to write the updated user back to the database. I cannot find another way of writing the data apart from calling:

UserInfoProvider.SetUserInfo(currentUser);

Does anyone know another way to save the user data? or to resolve the error. The error is a runtime error and as far as I know, I have referenced everything I need to. The field I am editing is a custom field added to the cmsUser table.

using statements for info:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data;
using System.Globalization;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Web;
using CMS;
using CMS.CustomTables;
using CMS.DataEngine;
using CMS.Membership;

Before you start working with Kentico CMS API from an external application make sure you call the following lines:

CMS.DataEngine.ConnectionHelper.ConnectionString = "your connection string";
CMS.Base.SystemContext.WebApplicationPhysicalPath = Application.StartupPath;
CMS.DataEngine.CMSApplication.Init();

Then, you'll be also able to use UserInfoProvider.GetUsers() object query instead of using DataQuery.Execute().

Are you sure you are referencing all necessary assemblies?

Following scenario works on my machine with configuration: Kentico 8.x, Web Application project

Reference in your Console application these assemblies from lib folder
- CMS.Base
- CMS.DataEngine
- CMS.DataProviderSQL
- CMS.Membership
Then copy your Connection String from Web Application's web.config to Console Application's App.config.

After that you can use this code to set custom user properties

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var users = UserInfoProvider.GetUsers();

    foreach (var user in users)
    {
        user.SetValue("myTestString", "test");
        user.Generalized.SetObject();
    }
}

For anyone looking to get a SiteID to use in API calls from an external app such as getting an email template, this might help you. In Kentico 8.1 you can go to Sites > General and get the code name for your site. Then you can do this:

int siteID = CMS.SiteProvider.SiteInfoProvider.GetSiteID("<your site code name>");

Hope it helps!
