How to find what depends on a specific version of a specific dependency?

I'm getting this error when I run my app (not at compile time):

Could not load file or assembly 'Castle.Windsor, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=407dd0808d44fbdc' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

My solution has many projects, using project references where possible, but some of those projects have assembly references to external dependencies.

How can I easily find out which project is looking for this specific version of Castle.Windsor.dll? I don't have that version and am trying to use 2.5.2 (latest), so I want to find the culprit and update it to use the latest one.

Many thanks in advance.

UPDATE

I've added a sanitised Fusion log below. It appears to be telling me that Caliburn.Castle requires Castle.Windsor, Version=2.1.0.0 (which would be a mistake as I'm using 2.5), but Fusion assembly probing as actually finding Castle.Windsor, Version=2.5.1.0 instead.

Have I understood that correctly?

You could use the Fuslogvw.exe utility which will provide you more information on the calling assembly. Scott Hansleman also blogged about it.


Have you looked at the assembly binding log viewer (Fuslogvw.exe)?

This should provide all the information needed.

See on MSDN.


FusionLog tool is best tool for things like that, but sometimes will only point to your code. Try turning up the verbosity for MSBuild and you might be able to track it down to where the compilation is at when it fails.
