On a Windows Server 2008 R2 installation which passed all the prerequisites, I am getting this below error:

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Resolution

Thanks to SharePoint Solutions they linked to a different download of the Geneva Framework that had the required DLL.
