The problem is that the DLL I have in this github repo is from PostSharp 2.0, but you probably have PostSharp 2.1 installed.

The workaround would be to copy a PostSharp.dll file and update your references. Long term, I need to update this repo to use NuGet instead (I started writing this code before PostSharp was on NuGet).
