InvalidOperationException: "Instance lookup depends on an unknown item."

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create ASP.net MVC5 project using Autofac as dependency resolver.
2. Add whitebox.autofac nuget.
3. Register whitebox module in autofac: 
builder.RegisterModule<WhiteboxProfilingModule>();
4. Run whitebox profiler GUI application separately.
5. Run web project.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Excpected to see activity output in profiler.
Instead I get an exception in the profiler application code:

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code
  HResult=-2146233079
  Message=Instance lookup depends on an unknown item.

Please provide any additional information below.

The ProfiledApplication test app included in the whitebox solution works. I 
tried to mimick its setup, but nothing happens when I try to copy its 
app.config stuff into my web.config. I need to explicitly register the whitebox 
module in code for anything to happen. The main difference I can see is that I 
use the nuget, but the test app uses a project reference.

I even tried to use the same DLLs as the test app, by referencing autofac.dll, 
whitebox.dll and whitebox.containers.autofac.dll instead of the ones I used (I 
used 3.1.5 autofac, test app used 3.1.1, and I used nugets), but I still get 
the same exception. Another difference is that I am running a web project and 
it is not in the same solution, but can't see how that should matter?

Any ideas would be appreciated, I really love the idea of whitebox.
