NCover unable to load .NET assemblies

MSTest based tests with binaries built with VS 2010 and .NET 4.

I have a rake build script that runs the unit tests with no problem. I created a new block for NCover for testing NCover.

I tried both x86 and x64 versions of NCover with the same results.

Error output at the bottom of the post.

I've tried both the console and Explorer with the same results.

Test machine is x64, the binaries are x86. I have several apps that are working fine in a similar manner: mstest, fxcop and fitnesse.

I've tried everything from the following pare: http://docs.ncover.com/how-to/running-ncover-with-your-unit-testing-framework/mstest/

So... ANy ideas on what to try now?

Hi chooks,

Even though we're addressing this issue directly through support, I'll leave this post active for a while so that I can post a solution, or in the event that other forum users also have some feedback.

I will, however, mark what appears to be a duplicate of this post as answered.

Thanks!

RE: NCover unable to load .NET assemblies

This was actually an MSTest error, not an NCover error.

The problem was caused by inadvertently running MSTest 9 against an assembly built for .NET 4.0.

When the user ran MSTest 10 against the same .NET 4.0 assembly, the process completed without error.
