Ninject Given Path's format is not supported

The Ninject initialization works fine when i run my application directly from VS2010, but if I deploy the application to our custom "plugin" environment I get this error when I run the app and it tries to initialize Ninject.

Error during initialization

The given path's format is not supported.

The stack trace looks a bit different, however this looks similar to an issue I had when NInject would attempt to load any NInject extensions that might exist, but fail because the extensions directory did not exist.

If the directory exists, then I assume that the code would work fine, even if the directory is empty.

I suggest modifying your NInject settings object so that it does not load the extensions by default.(you'll have to pass it in to your StandardKernel constructor, rather than using the default NInject settings that is implicitly constructed).

Example:

var settings = new NinjectSettings();
settings.LoadExtensions = false;
var kernel = new StandardKernel(settings);
kernel.load<YourCustomBindingModuleIfAny>();
