Xamarin Studio, GTK 2.0 C# application, runtime error, can't load libglib-2.0-0.dll

Question

I've installed fresh Xamarin Studio 5.10 on Windows 7 and created standard GTK 2.0 C# project (via New Project > .Net > GTK#2.0 Project).

Code's below:

using System;
using Gtk;

namespace _test
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            Application.Init ();
            MainWindow win = new MainWindow ();
            win.Show ();
            Application.Run ();
        }
    }
}

Build is ok, but runtime error raises (I've translated error from my native language into english):

Can't load DLL "libglib-2.0-0.dll": Procedure was not found (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007F)

Mono and gtk# seems to be installed ok via exes from official mono site. Test console app works ok.

May anybody help :) ?

Is this error from the command line or running it from within Xamarin Studio? — Matt Ward
From studio. The line Application.Init is highlighted with green and dialog "System.DllNotFoundException has been trown" is poped up... — userlond
I've completely reinstalled mono, gtk# and xamarin studio, it's all the same — userlond

You need to reboot. I just had the same problem and that was the solution.
