"Could not load ControlzEx"

[JVimes]

If I add the Fluent.Ribbon NuGet package to a fresh WPF App, then following follow the basic setup instructions, I get a build warning:

Found conflicts between different versions of the same dependent assembly that could not be resolved.

And a runtime crash:

FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'ControlzEx, Version=2.1.4.13, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f08b075e934b7045' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

I was able to work around the problem by updating the ControlzEx package from the default, v2.1.1.3, to the latest allowed, v2.2.0.4.

More info

Detailed build output shows:

There was a conflict between "ControlzEx, Version=2.1.1.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f08b075e934b7045" and "ControlzEx, Version=2.1.4.13, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f08b075e934b7045".
    "ControlzEx, Version=2.1.1.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f08b075e934b7045" was chosen because it was primary and "ControlzEx, Version=2.1.4.13, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f08b075e934b7045" was not.

I just tried the same guide and everything worked as expected.
Could you attach your project, as a zip archive, to this issue?

[JVimes]

Sure, thanks! I just added the project and some more info.

Missed the part where you said that you fixed the problem by updating to the latest ControlzEx version.
Will have to update the nuget package to reference the version i compile Fluent.Ribbon with.
Always forget about these versions...

[batzen]

Will fix this beginning with version 6.0

Fixed in v5.0.2
