Could not load file or assembly Sitefinity, Version=4.0.565.

We just downloaded the new beta and I get the following error when trying to create a new project from the project manager.  Windows 2003 Server Standard.

We created projects fine from a prior version, 4.0.346 just fine.

Hi Bhavin Shah,

Delete the project that has been created ( by default the project is created under Projects folder) and the database. Then run the Project Manager and try to create a project. Here is another related forum post Error on creating new project.  Deleting the empty project should fix the issue.
