IronPython Microsoft.Scripting Exception

I am trying to run IronPython code with c#. I created a simple console application (.net 4) and added IronPython.dll , IronPython.Modules.dll and Microsoft.Scripting and wrote the next code -

using Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting;

namespace app
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ScriptRuntime runtime = IronPython.Hosting.P开发者_开发技巧ython.CreateRuntime();
            ScriptEngine engine = runtime.GetEngine("py");

            engine.Execute("print 'hello!'");
        }
    }
}

While trying to run this , I get an exception -

Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Scripting, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture =neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies.

Whic version of iron python are you using ? The syntax you show seems belong to an older version, now you should have something like:

var ipy = Python.CreateRuntime();

anyway this blog post seems to be really accurate on pointing the correct reference to use. Anyway, ensure you have the latest IronPython version.
