I had the same problem, and found little or no help on all the forum and blog posts.
Note that this problem is specific to a case respecting *all* of the following criteria:
- using SQLite
- with System.Data.SqlLite
- on an x64 machine
- and NHibernate (2.1.2.4 in my case)
That chunk of config in my web.config (or app.config for my unit tests) got it to work. I had to qualify the assembly to be sure he loads correctly.
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<qualifyAssembly
partialName="System.Data.SQLite"
fullName="System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.66.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139, processorArchitecture=AMD64" />
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
Somewhere in it's inner plumbing, during the mapping using scanned assemblies, NHibernate creates an Assembly object using it's paritla name, as a string, "System.Data.SQLite". Somehow, the x86 version of the assembly got loaded.
The above configuration made sure that using the partial name to load an assembly would provide the x64 version.
