Could not create the driver from NHibernate.Driver.SQLite20Driver

Question

Here's the code that raises the exception

   public Configuration GetConfiguration()
    {
        var persister = SQLiteConfiguration
            .Standard
            .UsingFile("Test.db")
            .ShowSql();


        var configuration = Fluently
            .Configure()
            .Database(persister)
            .Mappings(map => map.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf<WordMap>())
            .BuildConfiguration();

        new SchemaExport(configuration).Execute(true, true, false);

        return configuration;

    }

The full exception text:

Just copy System.Data.SQLite.dll library to the the base directory of your application (especially where NHibernate.dll library is placed). You even don't need it to add as reference under VS.
