Solution

  • If you look in the IDE log file, which is in the %AppData%\Local\Xamarin-Studio-6.0\Logs directory and you see an error similar to:

    System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'libglib-2.0-0.dll': The specified module could not be found.

    Then you may be able to fix this by installing an older version of GTK#. Full steps to do this are:

    1. Stop Xamarin Studio.
    2. Uninstall GTK#.
    3. Install an older version of GTK# such as GTK# 2.12.30
