Mysterious WPF exception: 'PresentationFramework.Eren Vista'

All of the sudden I am getting this mysterious FileNotFoundException exception inside my WPF project. It occurs right in InitializeComponent of my Window constructor:

Could not load file or assembly 'PresentationFramework.Eren Vista, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I goggled for PresentationFramework.Eren Vista but I could not find any information on it. Do any of you have any idea what the hell this is?

Update: This appears to be a theme (like PresentationFramework.Aero, PresentationFramework.Classic, PresentationFramework.Luna, PresentationFramework.Royal), but I am not referencing this theme anywhere in my application.

Had a similar error with Xceed community DataGrid when upgrading to version 3.

I first had to add the PresentationFramework.Luna - which incidentally is a Microsoft DLL, not part of Xceed.

I then had to set it to Copy Local for it to find it.

Actually the real cause of this exception is a custom msstyles theme is being used (in this case it's named "Eren Vista")

Revert to Aero/Luna/Royale whatever that came default with .Net PresentationFramework and the error should be gone.

I had a similar issue after I changed Win7 theme to a custom one:

Could not load file or assembly 'PresentationFramework.Win7-Shine2.0, ...

I solved it by deleting the .suo file for my Visual Studio solution and reloading the solution.

It seems that .suo file stores some windows theme settings, resulting in a bug when you change a theme and try to rebuild the solution... wierd.

I still don't know what the cause of this exception is, but I solved it by creating a new solution and adding all the same projects. WTF?
