native assembly binding failure

[Brett]

Hi,

I've hooked up topshelf to a x86 project - where I reference 32bit native com dll's.

Running as a console app works fine.

When I install & start as a service, I receive assembly binding errors. Below is the resulting portion from fuslogvw:

LOG: Assembly download was successful. Attempting setup of file: D:\Projects\bin\Debug\RmRms_1_3_n_1.dll
LOG: Entering run-from-source setup phase.
ERR: Error extracting manifest import from file (hr = 0x80131018).
ERR: Run-from-source setup phase failed with hr = 0x80131018.
ERR: Failed to complete setup of assembly (hr = 0x80131018). Probing terminated.

It finds the DLL, but cannot load it. I should note that this DLL was compiled under .NET 2.0, and I have the following in my app.config:

<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.1"/>
</startup>

useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy was required for successful execution as a console app.

I've checked dependency walker (there are some issues reported & I've copied in the remaining dependencies) and tried copying / moving the DLL's into locations such as System32 based on other posts I have found with the same error. That largely stopped the binding errors, but the same error was reported from my service in all cases:

System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Rimage.Rapid.Api.dll' or one of its dependencies. Exception from HRESULT: 0xE06D7363

File name: 'Rimage.Rapid.Api.dll'

Rimage.Rapid.Api.Dll depends on the RmRms_1_3_n_1.dll reported by fuslogvw.

Any tips?

That it runs as a console app is a good sign that the issue is not topshelf.

Next thing I would test is running it as a console as the user that the service runs as.

Hi Dru,

Console and service are running as the same domain user (bumped to local admin to ensure there's no permission issues).

OK, not a topshelf issue, reverting to a standard windows service shows the same issue.

+1 i suspected it would be. Curious to see what you find.
