Hi Armin.

Please try to clear the dll cache.
It is located here:

Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Application Data\assembly\dl2
C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Application Data\assembly\dl3

Vista:
C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\assembly\dl2
C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\assembly\dl3

I knew this trick, it helped some time ago, but unfortunately not now.
