Trouble getting Caching working inside Azure Web Sites

I'm trying to get Caching working on my Windows Azure Website. The caching is configured on one of my Worker Roles.

I used this article to get started: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/cache/

Initially I've had trouble to get the Azure Cache Client dll working because of missing assembly errors.

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime, Version=1.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Could not load file or assembly 'msshrtmi, Version=1.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Though I've been helped by this article to resolve this: http://www.thedailyparker.com/PermaLink,guid,0be6425e-b509-4122-af01-7086ce2f811e.aspx

But next I'm getting a SEHException which sounds like a configuration problem. Though I've no idea what I'm missing. Exception Details:

I hope someone can help me in the right direction.

You cannot access Windows Azure Caching from a Web Site. You can only access it from a Web Role or Worker Role.

Have you tried Windows Azure Shared Caching in your Web Site? This should work (haven't tried this myself in a Web Site).
