Thanks for help Ben! It is working now.

OK, here's the ES site with the refreshed manifest for the MicroFour License Base.dll.

Nope, didn't get it. That email is feeling a bit sick. Sent you a pm with alternate email and phone. Thanks!

I sent you an email to your dev@ email address yesterday... did you get it?  I'd like to setup a screen sharing session with you if possible.

Anything more I can do to help figure out the problem...experiments to try, incantations to say???!?

Yes, once we get this resolved, there is a fix for the error you are experiencing, Larry.  We just have to figure out what is causing Greg so much grief.

I'm having a problem that is likely related to the issue that started this thread. I use ExecuteScalar in a couple of places to populate custom properties in a BO. It works fine when connected directly to the DB but fails to return values when connected via ES. While it's annoying to my users it's not a critical error and given the issues that Greg is having I'm reluctant to update ES and risk brining down my entire application. I'm waiting to hear how this all turns out

Spoke too soon...Nothing in the GAC, but all the mircofour dlls where in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.Net Files\root\.... (6 more folders deep) folder. I deleted them, restarted IIS. Same error.

No microfour files anywhere but in the installation folder (and the zip file).

OK, the version that I sent you is the same version that we are using on our test servers.  Do you have the MicroFour License Base.dll in the GAC?  If it's in the GAC, the ES will be pulling it from there and ignoring the one that is in the bin\ folder... and if it wasn't updated to that version, will cause the ES to fail.
