Install NHibernate 3.2 with NuGet

fluent-nhibernatenhibernatenuget

I'm new to NHibernate and have been trying to get up and running with it, Fluent NHibernate and NHProf using NuGet. After reading this article (http://gurustop.net/blog/2011/03/13/nhibernate-3-1-0-on-nuget-important-details) it seems that v3.1 shouldn't be directly installed, however, there appears no such warning for v3.2.

After successfully installing NHibernate 3.2 and NHProf using NuGet, I'm unable to install Fluent NHibernate as it says it's "Already referencing a newer version of NHibernate".

Also, when I run my app I get the following error "Could not load file or assembly 'NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle' or one of its dependencies". The following link (Could not load file or assembly in NHibernate) suggests installing a number of additional assemblies, which is what I was hoping to avoid by using NuGet in the first place.

At this point would it just be easier to follow the steps on NHForge to get things up and running as the packages on NuGet don't appear to be compatible?

NHibernate 3.2 comes with its own proxy factory. If you're using a config file, you just need to remove the proxyfactory configuration property.

I believe the version of Fluent NHibernate that you're using defaults to use NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle. In that case, you would need to override that setting with the built in NHibernate 3.2 proxy factory:

.ProxyFactoryFactory("NHibernate.Bytecode.DefaultProxyFactoryFactory, NHibernate")
