System.IO.Compression Reference issue

I am working on .NET framework 4.6 Web API application. My app is working on my machine and I was able to build it in my local but when I push it to our Azure Dev OPS CI, I got this build error.

I've googled for a week but couldn't get any answer.
Would you please help me about what could be the problem with our windows service or what should I do to find problem ?
Thanks.

After I posted this question, we realized that we had compiled code with x86 run platform from teamcity before we publish code to server. After that publish, this problem occurred.But we should have done this publish with x64 platform because our server is 64 bit.
After realizing that, we get publish packages again from Visual Studio with Release Mode and Mixed Platform setted.
For two weeks, problem never happened again ,so I wanted to share that solution.
In conclusion, It was because our publish package's run platform confusion. If you ever come up to that problem may be you should check your publish packages run platform.

Your code probably deals incorrectly with Enumerables. To find the root cause I suggest subscribing to unhanded exception and write as much details as you can to logs:
public static void Start() {
AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
currentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(currentDomain_UnhandledException);
running = true;
ThreadStart ts = new ThreadStart(ServiceThreadBody);
thread = new Thread(ts);
thread.Name = "ServiceThread";
thread.Priority = ThreadPriority.BelowNormal;
thread.Start();
}

Custom delivery UI extension generates "Invalid Class Name" error

I've done nothing more than compile the sample SSRS delivery extension and deploy it to the server as per instructions. When I make a call to the ReportService2010 ListExtensions web service method, the extension shows up in the list of results. However, when I go to create a subscription in the Report Manager, as soon as I choose the Printer Delivery Sample from the drop-down list of available delivery extensions, I get this error:
Invalid Class Name
I'm running SSRS 2012 SP2 (11.0.5569.0) on Windows Server 2012 R2.
EDIT: I found this in the logs:
It turns out that the ReportManager (the ASP.NET UI) does log to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRSxx.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles directory. I initially saw only subscription- (i.e. service-)related events in those files and assumed that if the ReportManager did log, those files must be elsewhere.

Yes, I feel a bit foolish. Okay - now what do I do with this information? Time to brush up on Code Access Security again...

Have a look at this:

Try switching the Application Pool Identity to Network Service. Also, check your DLL to see if it needs to be unblocked, which is also mentioned in that article.

Can you please confirm your failed assembly available/registered at C:\windows\assembly of reportserver machine. if its not registered then try to install that in GAC "Install an Assembly into the Global Assembly Cache"

How to debug Castle Windsor installation/registration exception

This was a showstopper for us and proved quite difficult to google. I recently had some time to throw at the issue, and successfully debugged it down to the fact that a component had an explicit reference/dependency (C#, not windsor) on a MVC 3 dll. The server was a newly commissioned one, and had only MVC 4 installed. All dev boxes had MVC 3 installed, making the problem only reproducible on production.
I debugged this by binary commenting out component registration code, converting mass registrations to per-component registration, and then staring at the offending component until I clicked the right place and had an epiphany.
My question is now, was there a better way that I could have debugged this? Could I have had Windsor give better information? And why was this a problem for Windsor when it was not in the normal non-Windsor case? I and the team are a bit leery of using Windsor now, given the nastyness of non-googlable errors only reproducible on production, so I hope I missed some nice ways of addressing this problem.

May be this answer help you to get better information while debugging stuff: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9539679/1158735

App closing as soon as it loads, with no errors

One of my applications runs fine on my developing machine, although if I run it on another computer the app closes as soon as it loads.
I remember I got this problem one time when I didn't deploy the app.config, but I made sure it was deployed this time.
Since the application gives absolutely no errors and all the results from Google are misguided, I have no idea what to do.
What could be causing this behavior? Even though app.config is deployed I think it may be something about it or something about one or more references, but I'm not sure.

Apparently there was a call stack on the event logs
