Team,
 
I am beside myself on this one.  I Spent all morning on it.  I have not a clue 
on this.  I am basically trying to create a sample for testing IBastis.

public void InstanceTest()
{
   ISqlMapper mapper = Mapper.Instance();
}
 
 
I am simply trying to test that I can an instance and all the config loads fine 
but instead I get the following:
 
Message:

The innerr exception is :

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
