 I have no idea why it's not loading that assembly from the gac. I'll
 try the installer here and see what happens.

+Okay, I just found the problem.
+Mono.WebServer.dll (and Mono.WebServer2.dll) are in both lib/mono/x.0
+and in lib/mono/gac/.....
+
+On linux/*ix, the first is a symbolic link to the latter, so the
+runtime resolves that symbolic link and finds the same assembly for
+both locations.
+
+On windows, as the 2 files are in different locations, the runtime
+thinks they are different.
+
+What I did to make it work was:
+  1. Create a 'exes' directory under lib/mono/1.0 and lib/mono/2.0
+  2. Move xsp.exe from lib/mono/1.0 to to lib/mono/1.0/exes
+  3. Move xsp2.exe from lib/mono/2.0 to to lib/mono/2.0/exes
+  4. Update xsp, xsp.bat, xsp2 and xsp2.bat to the new directory.
+
+After that, everything worked fine.
+
+Wade? Can you do that?
