ipy 2.7.3 console crashes immediately

description

When I try to run either ipy.exe or ipy64.exe, every time I get an immediate crash and this error output:
 
Unhandled Exception: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Boolean IronPython.Hosting.Py
thonConsoleOptions.get_BasicConsole()'.

I'm on Windows 7 Pro x64. Previous version of IronPython (2.7.2.1) console ran without any issues on my machine.

The issue is that ipy.exe was finding the IronPython assemblies in the GAC and they did not have the necessary classes/methods.

Is 2.7.2.1 still installed? Did you install using the installer or binaries?

Hi, slide_o_mix,

yes, I have 2.7.2.1 on my system, but I've never installed it, per se. I only downloaded and copied the binaries to my custom folder structure.

However, I had 2.6.1 installed properly and after uninstalling it, it works!!!

Thank you!

I only copied 2.7.2.1 from the binary download. I don't like installers as I put all of my tools in specific folders and have to make them run without installation anyways on many machines.

Thanks for the tip with the GAC, though, I actually didn't know about it until now. :)
