Hi, I'm just evaulating NCrunch and it was working great for a few days and then NCrunch couldn't build any of my projects with the following error. I've tried reinstalling NCrunch and manually installing NCrunch and I keep getting the same issue - do you have suggestions for this?

I'm using NCrunch 2.7.0.5 for Visual Studio 2012 with Windows 7 64-bit.

Thanks,
Chris.

Hi Remco,

Thanks for your reply - removing that directory seems to have done the trick and NCrunch is happily building/testing again!

I'm not aware of using gallio else where, I'm using NUnit for testing. I've got Resharper and Visual Assist installed.

The user.config file contained one of my project property settings which is really strange.

Thanks again for all your help,
Chris.
