Hello-

I am unable to load the CSV as part of one of the lessons. Below is the exception I get:
N.B: Even though the file is available in the correct path a File Not Found Exception is shown.

Main has thrown an exception

Source: Read CSV

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Thanks

Readd Excel activities pack. That file not found is not about the file you’re trying to read but one of the assemblies needed to do so.

Hello Jack,

Go to Manage Packages in the Activities pane (or press Ctrl+p). From the Installed section uninstall Excel activities pack. Then go to Available section and install it back.
This should reinstall CsvHelper libraries as well, which were the cause of this error.

Cheers,
Andrzej
