    I am trying to run an existing application in the debugger on a Windows 8 machine to prepare for the future, and I am getting the following errror on the constructor of the RadRibbonWindow:

    Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.RibbonView.Aero2, Version=2012.2.607.40, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5803cfa389c90ce7' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

    I cant find any reference to Aero2 in either the RadRibbonWindow or RadRibbonView assemblies.  Can anyone tell me what is causing this and how to fix it?

    Well, it appears that if I turn off transparency in Windows 8, my application will run, but it doesn't show the buttons in the rt corner (min, max, close), and it still acts like there will be errors in code.  

    It seems that it has something to do with how it looks for aero in windows?


    EDIT:  I have to retract the above -- It seems that i made 2 changes, I also told it not to alert me on file.io exceptions, and that is the real reason it started working.  Turning transparency back on still allows it to open, although i still have incorrect chrome, and the close/minimize/maximize button group is not visible.

    Hello Christopher,

    I cannot reproduce this issue both with enabled and disabled transparency. About the second issue with the incorrect chrome it is already resolved and will be available in the internal build next week.

    The error about aero2 happens when you have the debugger set to break on all errors Debug > Exceptions.... Common Language Runtime Exceptions > System.IO > System.IO.FileNotFoundException.

    I try to run with these on to be able to identify where there may be issues in the application for a user at any time in the future.  With that exception turned off, the application runs fine (minus the issue with the window chrome).

    Thanks for your response. I look forward to the release next week.

    Hi Robert,

    We have logged this issue for further investigation and you can track its progress in our PITS. However, as it is hard for us to reproduce it locally, we'll greatly appreciate your help for that. Can you please take a look at the attached sample and let me know if you can reproduce this exception in it? If you can, please send over the steps you follow and/or a screencast demonstrating them.

    Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

    I receive the error with the sample provided.  My environment is Win8 Pro, VS2012. 

    The error throws silently unless DEBUG > EXCEPTIONS... are checked.

    Hello cman,

    Thank you for the provided information. I tested the project on a machine with OS windows8 and I was able to reproduce the bug. On the other hand on windows7 the project runs without this exception. Also I updated the bug description and renamed it, and now it can be found under the name - "RibbonView: System.IO.FileNotFoundException thrown when application runs on window8 with all exceptions enabled in VS".

    All the best, Stefan
