#5 Could not load file or assembly 'GifComponents'

[Jaex]

I created this gif (http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/780/giftest.gif) with GifBuilder project.
But if i try open this gif with GifInspector this happening:
Could not load file or assembly 'GifComponents, Version=0.1.3611.21037, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

That's curious. Are you building GifBuilder and GifInspector from source or did you install the .msi?

If you're building it from source, is GifComponents.dll present in your GifInspector/bin/debug or /release folder (as appropriate)? If you installed the .msi, is GifComponents.dll present in the global assembly cache (%windir%\assembly)? And what is its version number?

Yes i'm building GifBuilder and GifInspector from source.
GifComponents.dll exist in here:

OK, so the dll is present and has a sensible version number, and it looks about the right size (my local copy is 96k although that includes a number of changes which aren't in source control yet).

Are you able to open the dll using ILDasm? That should tell us whether it's a valid assembly or if the file is corrupt somehow.

Could you try installing the .msi and see if that gives the same error please?

Finally, this might be a red herring, but from the screenshots, it looks like you're running Windows Visa whilst I'm using XP. Do you know whether you're using 32 or 64 bit Windows? There's a post about target CPUs and 32-bit/64-bit here: http://laputa.sharpdevelop.net/SharpDevelopNowCreatesProjectsAs32bitByDefault.aspx. I see there's a mixture of "any processor" and "32-bit Intel compatible" in the various projects' target CPU properties, in particular GifComponents and GifBuilder are set to 32-bit but GifInspector is set to any processor. Could you try changing the GifInspector project properties to set the target CPU to 32-bit and rebuilding GifInspector please?
