I've created an empty Asp.Net MVC3 project, and used nuget install-package Ninject.MVC3
Without doing anything else (no services registered and not even a controller created) I run the application.
The Project breaks on line 22 in NinjectMVC3.cs with the following exception:
[InvalidOperationException: Already Initialized!] Ninject.Web.Mvc.Bootstrapper.Initialize(Func`1 createKernelCallback) in c:\Projects\Ninject\Maintenance2.2\ninject.web.mvc\mvc3\src\Ninject.Web.Mvc\Bootstrapper.cs> :58 Mvc.App_Start.NinjectMVC3.Start() in c:\Projects\Events\Events\App_Start\NinjectMVC3.cs:22

WebActivator.BaseActivationMethodAttribute.InvokeMethod() +199 WebActivator.ActivationManager.RunActivationMethods() +330 WebActivator.ActivationManager.RunPreStartMethods() +27 WebActivator.ActivationManager.Run() +39
The line in NinjectMVC3.cs is:
public static void Start()
{
DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule(typeof(OnePerRequestModule));
DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule(typeof(HttpApplicationInitializationModule));
bootstrapper.Initialize(CreateKernel); // <- this one right here...
}
What is going on with this? I've used Ninject for MVC3 in other projects without problems at all. I do notice that the second line in the Start() method is not included in older (weeks) packages of Ninject.MVC3, so maybe something else has been broken in a recent update also?
Please help!
Edit to address answer from Remo
This is from my global.asax.cs
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
The global.asax is 100% standard aswell. No adjustments done.
EDIT - Problem is gone...
I honestly have no idea what caused this, but after a few restarts of Visual Studio, and a full reboot, the project is working as it should. Neither can I recreate the problem in new projects.
Sorry for wasting your time :)

finally i went to gitub and cloned a new repo, downloaded the latest Ninject.Web.Common and latest Ninject2 release builds and did a local release build. then I ditched the nuget packages and made assembly references to the newly compiled > assemblies "Ninject", "Ninject.Web.Common" and "Ninject.Web.Mvc" and my project started > working and controllers were being created with their dependencies being resolved.

I resolved the issue by downloading from https://github.com/ninject/ninject.web.mvc instead of using the nuget package. I didn't have to do anything after I added the references.

What ended up working for me was to remove the Ninject MVC NuGet Package completely and just add the Ninject and Ninject dll's the old fashioned way. I think there may be something wrong with their NuGet package.
