"COMException: Strong name key container not found" error after some changes to DynamicProxy

[Jonathon Rossi]

After applying some changes to the DynamicProxy codebase I am sometimes getting the following error. It is only happening randomly which makes it more difficult to determine the issue.

The exception is being thrown in RhinoMocksTestCase.CanProxyMethodWithOutIntPtrParameter. I haven't included the changes to the codebase, I'm just posting to see if anyone has an idea why this might be failing randomly. I am running Vista x64. It has failed from both from ReSharper and NAnt.

Just curious: Have you ever been able to find the cause of this?

Not yet. The strange thing is that I don't think it is actually that patch, however that patch seems to make it happen more often. I have had it happen a few times randomly in the last few months, but it happens just about every time with that patch.

I have never had enough time when I wasn't tired to focus on looking at it. I am considering just reinstalling my desktop since no one else has every had the issue, Castle related or not, so it is most likely some strange environment issue.
