Bug description:
I am using NUnit 2.9.4 which I have downloaded as source and compiled with VS2010 RC.
I had trouble loading my test assemblies running the test-runner.exe gives the following output:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS C:\projects\Specs\Specs.Test\bin\Debug> ..\..\..\..\NUnit\NUnit-2.9.4\solutions\vs2010\bin\Debug\test-runner.exe .\Specs.Test.dll
TestRunner version 1.0.0

Could not load file or assembly 'Specs.Test' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

If I change the method Load on the class DefaultTestAssemblyBuilder in the file NUnit-2.9.4\src\framework\Internal\DefaultTestAssemblyBuilder.cs from 


        private Assembly Load(string path)
        {
            Assembly assembly = null;

            // Throws if this isn't a managed assembly or if it was built
            // with a later version of the same assembly.
            AssemblyName assemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(Path.GetFileName(path));

            // TODO: Figure out why we can't load using the assembly name
            // in all cases. Might be a problem with the tests themselves.
            assembly = Assembly.Load(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(path));

            if (assembly != null)
                CoreExtensions.Host.InstallAdhocExtensions(assembly);

            InternalTrace.Info("Loaded assembly " + assembly.FullName);

            return assembly;
        }


to


        private Assembly Load(string path)
        {
            Assembly assembly = null;

            // Throws if this isn't a managed assembly or if it was built
            // with a later version of the same assembly.
            AssemblyName assemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(Path.GetFileName(path));

            // TODO: Figure out why we can't load using the assembly name
            // in all cases. Might be a problem with the tests themselves.
            assembly = Assembly.Load(assemblyName);

            if (assembly != null)
                CoreExtensions.Host.InstallAdhocExtensions(assembly);

            InternalTrace.Info("Loaded assembly " + assembly.FullName);

            return assembly;
        }


I can load my assemblies. -The difference in the code is that the Assembly.Load call takes the AssemblyName instead of the path.
With the code change the test-runner output is:
