Strange Castle AddFacility runtime error

Question

I'am new to Castle and Castle.Windsor, so this is maybe a noob question.

I created an empty console .NET 4.0 application and added next packages through NuGet:

Castle Windsor factory support facility 3.0 beta 1 (3.0.2001)
Castle Windsor 3.0 beta 1 (3.0.2001)
Castle Core 3.0 beta 1 (3.0.2001)
Castle NHibernate facility (0.5.1.4000)
Fluent NHibernate (1.3.0.717)
NHibernate (3.2.0.4000)
Iesi Collections (3.2.0.4000)

and wrote next code:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        IWindsorContainer container = new WindsorContainer();

        container.AddFacility<AutoTxFacility>();
        //container.AddFacility<NHibernateFacility>();
    }

But I got an error:

GenericArguments[0], 'TService', on 'Castle.MicroKernel.Registration.RegistrationGroup`1[S]' violates the constraint of type parameter 'S'.

If rewrite code and uncomment second AddFacility line:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        IWindsorContainer container = new WindsorContainer();

        //container.AddFacility<AutoTxFacility>();
        container.AddFacility<NHibernateFacility>();
    }

I got next error:

Could not load type 'Castle.Facilities.FactorySupport.FactorySupportFacility' from assembly 'Castle.Windsor, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=407dd0808d44fbdc'.

I tried add container.AddFacility<Castle.Facilities.FactorySupport.FactorySupportFacility>(); line before first AddFacility but it not solve a problem.

In real application I got another error for same try and same libraries:

Could not load file or assembly 'Castle.Windsor, Version=2.5.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=407dd0808d44fbdc' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

with next FusionLog:

WRN: Comparing the assembly name resulted in the mismatch: Major Version

I don't understand what I doing wrong.

This looks like the version of AutoTx facility you're using was compiled against older version of Windsor.

I'm not sure if the facility supports Windsor 3 yet, probably the best course of action is to ask at castle user googole group
