I am trying to get Caching to work on my Windows Azure website. Caching is configured on one of my working roles.
I used this article to get started: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/cache/
Initially, I had to work with the Azure Cache Client dll due to the lack of build errors.
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime, Version=1.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Could not load file or assembly 'msshrtmi, Version=1.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Although this article helped me to solve this problem: http://www.thedailyparker.com/PermaLink,guid,0be6425e-b509-4122-af01-7086ce2f811e.aspx
But then I get a SEHException that sounds like a configuration issue. Although I have no idea what I am missing. Exception Details:

I hope someone can help me in the right direction.
