Thanks for the reply. Yep, I double and triple checked I had the correct .net 2.0 dll's in the gac. I also deleted all the dll's from the gac and started over and the same error appears when I run the app as seen below.
Is there a working example of the CuteEditor running from the GAC in .net 2.0 and no dll's for the editor in the \bin directory of the website?
