Last week I came into the office to find my box was completely hosed. I kept getting a compile error that the webengine.dll could not be found.
I tried many different uninstalls and reinstalls of .NET but it wouldn’t fix the problem. However I notice that even though .NET was uninstalled, it wasn’t. I went looking for a tool to completely uninstall .NET and found this website.
After using that process to uninstall .NET and then rebooting, I reinstalled .NET and was good to go.
Was one of the most frustrating work days I have had in some time, have never been so close to being beaten by a technical problem like this.

I’ve been doing some work on the DotNetBlogEngine and recently I would get this error when I tried to debug.
Thankfully after an online search I found this solution.
In short, open up your .SLN file in notepad and edit the VWDPort entry to a lower number. You should be up and running after that.
Thanks to JBERKE for the help!
