I get an error when starting fiddler with the BinaryMessageFiddler.dll extension. I tired the precompiled download and building the source download. Am I missing a script file or something? The extension appears to work as I can see my WCF RIA messages (when I can get WCF RIA to work@!?>#$%)

Fiddler version 2.2.7.5

Failed to load script.
BinaryMessageFiddler.dll

As for ver 2.2.4.6, you may prevent this exception by coping the downloaded assembly - BinaryMessageFiddlerExtension.dll - into two directories: the Fiddler install root and into the "Inspectors" folder under it.

[Deleted comments relating to issues with WCF RIA Services, now that an updated version of the inspector has been posted]

When I go to the WCF Binary tab, I see this:

System.Xml.XmlException: The prefix 'q' is not defined.
at System.Xml.XmlExceptionHelper.ThrowXmlException(XmlDictionaryReader reader, String res, String arg1, String arg2, String arg3)
at System.Xml.XmlBaseReader.LookupNamespace(PrefixHandleType prefix)

at BinaryMessageFiddlerExtension.BinaryInspector.GetWcfBinaryMessageAsText(Byte[] encodedMessage)
at BinaryMessageFiddlerExtension.BinaryInspector.UpdateView(Byte[] bytes)

any thoughts as to what might be going wrong?
thanks
