Hi, since a few days, I have the following error when I try to access the home server web site :
"Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.SearchAPI' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format."
I enabled fusion log and the search path is the following :
=== Pre-bind state information ===
LOG: User = NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
LOG: DisplayName = Interop.SearchAPI
(Partial)
WRN: Partial binding information was supplied for an assembly:
WRN: Assembly Name: Interop.SearchAPI | Domain ID: 2
WRN: A partial bind occurs when only part of the assembly display name is provided.
WRN: This might result in the binder loading an incorrect assembly.
WRN: It is recommended to provide a fully specified textual identity for the assembly,
WRN: that consists of the simple name, version, culture, and public key token.
WRN: See whitepaper http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=109270 for more information and common solutions to this issue.

The file is present at C:\Program Files\Windows Server\Bin\WebApps\RemoteAccess\Bin and I am able to open it with reflector. So, it is neither missing nor corrupted, so I suspect it is missing a dependency.
I supposed I possibly removed windows search, thinking it is not needed, but I can't find it anywhere in the feature list, so, I supposed this is not it.
I tried to reboot the machine and I still have the problem.
Can someone tell me what can possibly be missing? I configured it to take a backup of itself twice a day, so, I can restore a file if needed.
