Probably has to do with binding context. This means that assemblies loaded via LoadFile, LoadFrom and Load don't necessarily "see" assemblies loaded in other contexts. See http://blogs.msdn.com/suzcook/archive/2003/05/29/57143.aspx for more info.
You also might try just changing to LoadFrom, LoadFile doesn't use Fusion at all (see http://blogs.msdn.com/suzcook/archive/2003/09/19/loadfile-vs-loadfrom.as px). We actually include the following code on AssemblyResolve to bridge contexts: foreach (Assembly loadedAssembly in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()) { if (loadedAssembly.FullName == assemblyFullName) { return loadedAssembly; } } -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Hall Sent: Friday, May 16, 2008 5:28 PM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: [IronPython] Loading IronPython assemblies dynamatically Hello, I have an interesting problem and I was wondering if you would be able to help. I am trying to load the IronPython assemblies dynamically (IronPython.dll and IronPython.Modules.dll), and what I am doing is this: Assembly.LoadFile(Path.Combine(Settings.BinDirectory, assembly)); I'm then creating the Runtime and the Engine after the assemblies have loaded. But when I try runtime.GetEngine I get the following exception: ----> System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not load file or assembly 'IronPython, Version=2.0.0.2000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. at Microsoft.Scripting.Runtime.ScriptDomainManager.LanguageRegistration.Loa dLanguageContext(ScriptDomainManager manager) at Microsoft.Scripting.Runtime.ScriptDomainManager.GetLanguageContext(Type type) at Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting.ScriptRuntime.GetEngine(Type languageContextType) Ok, so I hooked up to the Assembly Resolve event, and when I get to get the engine it fires off. Assembly name passed into the AssemblyResolve event is: IronPython, Version=2.0.0.2000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 However, the assembly I am loading is this: IronPython, Version=2.0.0.2000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 Same with Modules: IronPython.Modules, Version=2.0.0.2000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 After I reload the assembly (using the same Assembly.Load) everything works fine! Why is this? I would prefer not to have to load my assemblies twice. These the assemblies I downloaded from CodePlex.
