Cultute error on Entity Framework 4.3.1

Question

I have updated my project in EF 4.0 to EF 4.3.1. However, when I create a new Context object, an exception is thrown:

Culture is not supported.
Parameter name: name
2.3.2 is an invalid culture identifier.

The complete Stack Trace:

I haven't idea about the problem...

I'll be glad about any help.

Thanks in advance

Looks like the culture of one of your assemblies is incorrect. Is this a web app or a desktop app? — Pawel, May 02 '12 at 16:43
Great, @Pawel ! Correct! The lib Lucene.Net.Analyzers was the problem. I took the lib from project and it worked. I suggest you create an answer so I can approve it. Thank you. — Aécio, May 02 '12 at 19:21

Looks like the culture of one of your assemblies is incorrect. For performance reasons by default Entity Framework filters out assemblies that most likely don't have entities like assemblies that are part of .NET Framework or assemblies that are shipped by Microsoft. Entity Framework is using public key token to filter these assemblies out. To get the public key token AssemblyName object is created using assembly.FullName. If the assembly.FullName is not a valid assembly name you will see the above exception.
