You get this exception when you want to use the re-motion API and a re-motion assembly can't be loaded. This typically occurs if you use the re-mix library in your application, but don't use the rest of re-motion. You can force the load by invoking 

FrameworkVersion.RetrieveFromType (typeof (IMixinTarget));
