I had the same problem here, getting the same errors here (except the
numbers change slightly) with all of Stuarts .net xAP apps on one of my xAP
pro boxes.   But then I tried it on a 2nd xAP pro box with same patches etc
and they worked ok!

After trying a few different things, tonight I finally figured out it was
caused by running the apps over a shared network drive.   Once I moved the
xAP files (.exe and .dlls) from the drive on the 2nd box (which worked) to
a
local drive on the 1st box, the apps started working!

I searched the message list and see there were at least 2 others who ran
into the same error, so I wonder if they also were running from remote
drives ("re: Updated SliMP3 Connector app available" and
"re: Slim connector
problem").  Or maybe there is some sort of timing issue with loading
the
dlls and the speed of the drives matter??

Stuart, thanks for the nifty apps!  I just received a RedRat I ordered last
week, so am looking forward to interfacing your new RedRat connector with
MisterHouse.

Bruce
