I was trying to record a Web Test using Visual Studio Team System 2008 with Internet Explorer 8 on a Windows Vista 64 bit machine. After creating the Web Test IE was launching without the Web Test Recorder Explorer Bar. Going to View – Explorer Bars – Web Test Recorder 9.0 would show up, but after clicking Stop I would get the following exception: “Unable to load DLL ‘Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.RecorderBarBHO90.dll.’ The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E).”

After a few recommendations on the web the problem was solved by moving the dll found on the \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies to the \Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer folder.

I hope this solves your problem.

Happy Testing!
