    Random filenotfound message with 6.1.1

    About a week ago, we set up a blank Umbraco 6.1.1 site (ASP.NET 4, IIS 7.5). Since then, we occasionally get a System.IO.FileNotFoundException:

    "Could not load file or assembly 'WebActivator, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

    This error message might pop up when you open Umbracos backend or any node in the backend. There seems to be no particular pattern of behavior, so the error is difficult to reproduce. Error disappears and everything works as it should as soon as you update your browser, or click once more on the node.

    What can we do to get rid of this error message?

    Perhaps we should add that we first installed Umbraco version 6.0.5 via the Web Platform Installer, and then copied the /bin, /install, /umbraco and /umbraco_client folders from version 6.1.1. plus changed ExamineLuceneIndexSets in web.config (as recommended in the Umbraco blog).

    Thanks in advance
    /Jan

    We are experiencing this issue on a new deployment. The site works fine in Staging and Development but in Production we intermittently get the error:

    Could not load file or assembly 'WebActivator, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

    I am pretty sure it occurs on the first request after an App Pool Recycle as it seems to occur if there is no activity or after touching the web.config. The site is using 6.1.6.
