Re: filenotfoundexception nunit.framework @InstallAdhocExtensions

NUnit can run tests built against an older framework version as far
back as 2.0. However, this will only work so long as the old framework
is available where your tests can load it.

So first, make sure that whatever framework you compile your tests
against is actually available to them, usually by being in the
same directory as the test assembly. Note that this is different
from NUnit 2.2, which put the framework assembly in the GAC.

Sometimes "File not found" masks another error, so make sure you 
are referencing a version of the framework that is built for .NET
2.0. If that's OK, then please post info about where the various
assemblies are located with respect to one another.
