WatiN error: cannot load

Question

I am working on a new test project with watiN, but always get this error,

Could not load file or assembly 'WatiN.Core, Version=2.0.3.913, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db7cfd3acb5ad44e' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

Did I miss something? thanks.

Answer 1

The assembly appears to be strongly named so you can install it in the GAC (open C:\windows\assembly and drag the dll into there). You may need to download it from the internet if you can't find it on your computer.

Failing that, are you on a 64 bit computer? It may be that watin requires you to execute your program as a 32 bit application (In Visual Studio, this is under the "Build Configuration" section).
