One of our build agent servers does not have System.Data.SqlXml Version=2.0.0.0 under C:\Windows\assembly but every other machine we have does. Unfortunately this causes nunit-summary.exe on that box to fail with:
EXEC Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SqlXml,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or
one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
error MSB3073: The command ""../tools/nunit-summary.exe" artifacts/Test_*.xml" exited with code -1.
I tried installing MSXML 4 to no avail. I have not been able to figure out how to install version 2, any ideas?
Two possible solutions.
a) In the project, expand references to find the reference to the library. Go to properies and set Copy Local to be True. The .dll will then be included in the bin folder when the project is built.
b) Install SQLXML from Microsoft (this is different to MSXML which you tried). Details about the library (including the download link) are available at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/sqlxml/what-s-new-in-sqlxml-4-0-sp1

I have an application that relies on a set of third-party DLLs, version v1.1. In order to use them, I reference the main one, which is found somewhere under the Program Files folder. This library uses the other ones, installed in the GAC.
A new version of the third-party DLLs is released, v1.2. The DLL in the Program Files folder is replaced by the new version; in the GAC, both versions co-exist.
The problem is to get the application (compiled with DLLs v1.1) to work when v1.2 is installed, without re-compiling it, and without changing the app.exe.config file.
I am the maintainer of the DLLs; additional constraints are that only the latest version of the DLL is installed in Program Files, and other DLLs are all installed in the GAC (all versions are kept).
My problem is that the application starts, but eventually I get an error because of incompatibilities between types:
Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidCastException:
[A]ThirdParty.User cannot be cast to [B]ThirdParty.User.
Type A originates from 'ThirdParty, Version=1.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=XXXX'
in the context 'Default' at location 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_32\ThirdParty\v4.0_1.2.0.0__XXXX\ThirdParty.dll'.
Type B originates from 'ThirdParty, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=XXXX'
in the context 'Default' at location 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_32\ThirdPart\v4.0_1.1.0.0__XXXX\ThirdParty.dll'.
I am not sure to understand how the v1.2 DLL is chosen, I am guessing that the path to the DLL is stored in the application, which in turn decides to use the DLLs in the GAC for this version? I am testing on a system different from the one used for compiling, but the DLLs are located in the same location. My understanding from the documentation is that the v1.1 version in the GAC should be chosen, not v1.2.
Where is my mistake? How can I fix it?
Thanks,
I found a solution in my specific case, and re-reading my question I realize I did not mention that my initial DLL does rely on a PowerShell instance. Which is where I worked around my problem. In my DLL, I load a specific version if the DLL that is present in the GAC, and load it in my PowerShell instance:
var assembly = Assembly.Load("ThirdParty, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=XXXX");
var ps = PowerShell.Create();
ps.Commands.AddCommand("Import-Module").AddParameter("-Assembly", assembly);
ps.Invoke();
I'm looking at adding the reference;
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms
to my VisualStudio (2015) project but when I go to Add the Reference in the Solution Explorer I couldn't find it.
Eventually I added it through NuGet but now I am getting the error message;
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
which leads me to believe I just haven't added the package properly. I've installed Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools through program features but still no luck.
What am I missing?
You can try by executing this into Package Manager Console
Install-Package Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.v11
I have a .csproj that I want to publish to a clickonce server.
When I publish the application from one development computer it works and the program can be started from the server without any problems.
I download the same project from svn to another computer and try to publish it. That step kinda works, i guess, since the program is published successfully without any errors.
But when I try to start the program from the server I get the error:
Application requires that assembly office version 12.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache(GAC) first.
Update: (also posted info in comments). I am receiving this warning on both machines though I don't know how to solve. But it's probably the cause of the problem I guess:
No way to resolve conflict between "office, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" and "office, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c". Choosing "office, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" arbitrarily.
1> Consider app.config remapping of assembly "office, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" from Version "12.0.0.0" [C:\Windows\assembly\GAC\office\12.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\office.dll] to Version "14.0.0.0" [D:\Visual Studio\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Office14\office.dll] to solve conflict and get rid of warning.
So I finally solved this.
First I thougt I'd describe how the project looked. Under references there was no reference to the office.dll file though this actually ended up in the published directory when computer1, which was able to publish a working copy, published the project. Also under properties->publish->ApplicationFiles the office.dll was listed as exluded.
computer2, which couldn't publish a working project, had the same installed programs as computer1. So I tried to add the reference to office.ddl, set it to copy local and include it in applicationfiles. Now there was a office.dll copied to the published directory but the same error appeared. installed and re-installed a bunch of programs, no improvement. After I've been trying alot of randomstuff I ended up copying the dll from computer1, referenced it, set it to copy local and included it. And, voila, it worked?
I have this exception generated on some user machines (~1 of 20):
Could not load file or assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its
dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I found several references to this error over the web and this site but nothing helped.
I have an add-in application which uses WCF to connect to the server. The add-in built with .NET Framework 3.5 with VS 2008.
The error is reproducible on one of the test machines in only one user account. I install my application and can only reproduce this from one account on this machine everywhere else it is working fine. Furthermore it is only reproducible with only one version of host application which I created add-in for (I assume because it uses differnet .NET Frameworks).
I have checked the fuse logs and I see the following:
Assembly manager loaded from: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll
Running under executable C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SolidWorks\sldworks.exe

So by some reasons it is trying to use v2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll loader to load the Version=4.0.0.0 of System.dll. On build machine I'm referring 2.0.0.0 version of System.dll.
I had this same problem - some users could pull from git and everything ran fine. Some would pull and get a very similar exception:
Could not load file or assembly '..., Version=..., Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=...' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
In my particular case it was AjaxMin, so the actual error looked like this but the details don't matter:
Could not load file or assembly 'AjaxMin, Version=4.95.4924.12383, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=21ef50ce11b5d80f' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
It turned out to be a result of the following actions on a Solution:
NuGet Package Restore was turned on for the Solution.
A Project was added, and a Nuget package was installed into it (AjaxMin in this case).
The Project was moved to different folder in the Solution.
The Nuget package was updated to a newer version.
And slowly but surely this bug started showing up for some users.
The reason was the Solution-level packages/respositories.config kept the old Project reference, and now had a new, second entry for the moved Project. In other words it had this before the reorg:
<repository path="..\Old\packages.config" />
And this after the reorg:
<repository path="..\Old\packages.config" />
<repository path="..\New\packages.config" />
So the first line now refers to a Project that, while on disk, is no longer part of my Solution.
With Nuget Package Restore on, both packages.config files were being read, which each pointed to their own list of Nuget packages and package versions. Until a Nuget package was updated to a newer version however, there weren't any conflicts.
Once a Nuget package was updated, however, only active Projects had their repositories listings updated. NuGet Package Restore chose to download just one version of the library - the first one it encountered in repositories.config, which was the older one. The compiler and IDE proceeded as though it chose the newer one. The result was a run-time exception saying the DLL was missing.
The answer obviously is to delete any lines from this file that referenced Projects that aren't in your Solution.
I got this after downgrading a project from .net 4.5 to .net 3.5.
To resolve I had to go in to the project - properties - settings window and delete all my settings, save the project, exit and restart visual studio, go back into project - properties -settings window and re-enter all my settings and their default values
This worked for me.
Go to Project->Propertied->Target Frawork->Change frame work like 3.5 to 4.0
I had the problem under Linux and I needed to install those. I don't know which one actually fixed the problem, but that error was gone after that:
apt-get install mono-utils mono-runtime-sgen mono-runtime-common \
mono-runtime-boehm mono-runtime-dbg mono-xbuild
I've seen this a couple times, and it is usually fixed by running a repair on .NET Framework (whichever version the application is trying to use).
You are using .net 4? - Maybe on the clients there is only the ".net framework 4 client profile" installed. Try to install full package!!

In my case, I was able to find issue with ScriptManager by setting Debug=true in web.config file
I answered too late but it has worked in my case.If you are facing this issue in your project please add the following line in your web.config :
<compilation batch="false" >
This worked in my case. If you already have compilation tag in your web.config then add only batch="false" property to it.
You can enable NuGet packages and update you dlls. so that it work.
or you can update the package manually by going through the package manager in your vs if u know which version you require for your solution.
Even I have experience some more strange things, I can see there is no dll in GAC from where the dll is loading but windows > Module shows system.dll version=4.0.0.0 loaded
i just changed my target .net framework and it worked .in my case i changed from .net 4.7 to .net 4.
Right click your solution and select properties

I have got this error when using Enterprise Library 3.1 May 2007 version. We are developing a product and have a common lib directory beneath the Subversion Trunk directory
<>\Trunk\Lib\ into which we put all the third party DLLs. Inside this we have Microsoft\EnterpriseLibrary\v3.1 in which we have copied all the dlls from \Program Files\Microsoft Enterprise Library May2007\bin. Everything was working properly until one of the developers installed the source code on this machine. There were some dlls copied at the end of the source code installation and once that was done, he is not able to run the project anymore. He always gets this error
'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)'
What is the problem here? I thought that when the source code was installed it was just supposed to build everything and copy in the bin directory within the source code parent directory. Also we have copied the Dlls from Microsoft Enterprise Library May 2007\bin directory into our product development directory and references into our project with a copylocal flag set to true.
Can anyone help me out here

I used to get that when I developed against the signed version of the dll and deployed where only the unsigned version was available.
Also, fuslogvw.exe. EVERY. TIME.
I assume the error lies in the developer having compiled the code against the unsigned source code compilation he has.
Make sure he adds the reference to the signed DLLs before compiling his code.
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
should be something like:
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=fa03fef243232
maybe you should check the Assembly- and FileVersion of the dll. if they do not match this exception can occur.
Read here to get started with assembly loading debugging.
In short you need to check the Fusion log for more information.
For a "The located assembly's manifest
definition with name [yourAssembly]
does not match the assembly reference"
message (for hresult
FUSION_E_REF_DEF_MISMATCH,
0x80131040): The Fusion log will say
which part of the assembly reference
failed to match what was found. It
will be the assembly name, culture,
public key (or token) or version (if
the found assembly was
strongly-named).
