    I'd ask the question on the codeplex forum associated with the application. The point where it is failing seems to be when it is trying to read configuration information from the .config file, in particular information associated with the IgnoredMethodList key.

    But did you know a solution for the problem?

    The stacktrace shows that the add-in is unable to get some information that it expects to find in the config file. One way to get it to work is to take appSettings information in the Reflector.exe.config that comes in the zip, and add that to the config file for the Reflector that you are using to host the add-in.

    So, to get it to work I did the following:

    (i) Copied the lines
    <appSettings>
    <add key="Pic2PlotPath" value="C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\pic2plot.exe"/>
    <add key="OutputType" value="svg"/>
    <!--currently only svg format is supported-->
    <add key="IgnoredMethodList" value="get_|set_|add_|remove_|ToString"/>
    <add key="IgnoredTypeList" value="Console|String|Assert|Logging|Object|SR|SafeHandle"/>
    <add key="IgnoredNSList" value="System.Diagnostics|System.Security"/>
    </appSettings>
    into the config file for the reflector I was using (one of the Reflector Pro beta builds)

    (ii) Started reflector and loaded the Reflector.LiveSequence.dll assembly as an add-in.

    I could then go to System.Activator.CreateInstance<T> and use the context menu option to generate a sequence diagram.

    Does that help?
