I have used Setup Project before with no issue the project did not have SQLite DB as a dependency
I am now trying to make a EXE or msi file for a project that has SQLite included as System.Data.SQLite.Core and the project is a WinForms with a WPF TextBox with this code below
Public Sub LoadTB()
Dim tb As Windows.Controls.TextBox = New Windows.Controls.TextBox()
ElementHost1.Child = tb
tb.SpellCheck.IsEnabled = True
AddHandler tb.TextChanged, AddressOf tb_TextChanged
tb.TextWrapping = Windows.TextWrapping.Wrap
tb.AcceptsReturn = CBool("True")
End Sub
Here is part of the file file
************** Exception Text **************
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.113.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.113.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139'
A picture is worth a 1000 words
Here is the issue the System.Data.SQLite.dll in the project is version 1.0.133.0
The NuGet package System.Data.SQLite.Core is version 1.0.113.1
Question what do I change and Where do I change it
YES I have tried using System.Data.SQLite from NuGet NO Luck
After continuing to try and use the Setup Project in Visual Studio 2019 to create both EXE & MSI installers I have found a FIX to the issue Exception Text ERROR as explained in my question above
Create your Setup Project with the Normal Steps
After you navigate to the Setup folder and open the Debug folder and click the setup.exe file the next Step is as follows YES it is Odd and not ideal compared to using Inno Setup but if you do not want to learn how to use Inno Setup this works. Why it is necessary is beyond me
OK now navigate to the folder where your application EXE file is located
Add the following two folders from your project X64 & x86 folders they are in the source folder for VS 2019 for your project
One more detail DO NOT use the desktop icon created by setup.exe
Click the AppName.exe in the Application Folder to run the application
Yes It is a different app than the app in the question
Here are two screen shots that add more clarity to the issue
Partial answer I say Partial because I do not know how to implement all the steps
So If someone would be kind enough to explain how to apply this fix that would be nice
As well if this is not the ideal way to correct the issue please comment
The ERROR as I see it is that SQLite.Interop.dll v 1.0.109.0 under
C:\Program.Files(x86)\MicrosoftVisualStudio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\x86
as well as x64 and System,Data.SQLite.Core is v 1.0.113.0 Do NOT match
So applying the steps as described in this SO Post should solve the problem?

I need to change an entry of a .NET config file.
The problem is that the App.config in the project folder needs to stay untouched, because otherwise the application won't work within the IDE anymore.
I need the installed .NET config file changed after its installation.
Whenever I try to reference that file and build my installer, i get an error that the file can't be found. Of course it can't be found there, because the installation folder doesn't exist, when I build the installer.
How can I achieve that goal?
You are not saying how you are editing it, but WIX has two facilities for doing this properly. You can use XmlFile or XmlConfig. These are scheduled at the proper time by WIX for you. You can set the path to the file a few ways as they accept a formatted string, so you can use an expected installed path or the file id.
I have a windows forms application which stores data in
My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData + "\a.xml"
When I run and test this path, it shows path as:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\<Manufacture name>\<Product Name>\1.0.0.0\a.xml
I want to delete above file at the time of uninstall.
So I have created custom action using installer class (please note that I have created installer class in main project, not in setup project as setup project does not show option to add installer class). In installer class, I have override uninstall method and using same above code
My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData + "\a.xml"
I have tried to delete file. Obviously I have pointed it to uninstall folder in setup project which should delete above file, but I can see that in setup project above is taking different path. It is taking path as
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Corporation\Windows Installer - Unicode\5.0.7600.16385\a.xml
I am using Visual Studio 2013. Please suggest how to solve this problem.
The easiest workaround I found for this issue is to change the version number so no need to delete any file as it is creating different directory for different version number.
I also asked this question on the Orchard forum but no joy there yet. So here it is again...
https://orchard.codeplex.com/discussions/569444 Please read for a few more details.
IF the .NET 4/4.5 SDK came with a developer command prompt (like previous SDKs) then I would not be asking this question.
But since Orchard is build with .NET 4.5 I am getting build errors using the old SDK. It seems that my only option is to install Visual Studio Express on the build server.
I am doing that as we speak so at this point the question is purely academic but I am still curious.
EDIT
STILL NO JOY. Even after installing VS 2013 Express Web the vcvarsall.bat that usually configure the build environment is still not present. So this is no longer a curiosity question. The Express edition also cannot create my build environment. Help.
Seth
Here is my answer...copied and pasted from the forum.
This is a late answer. Bottom line is that I did eventually get our build server to build orchard projects. I am not sure if this is a complete answer or not as I should have answered as soon as I had it done. But I pretty sure this will work.
One other thing to note...It is quite possible that not all of these steps are required. I tried a lot of different things and it might be in the end some of the steps were not needed. It might also reflect a problem on our build server...especially the fact that I had to manually add registry entries.
But here it is without details.
Install the .NET Framework SDK for Windows 7.1.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279
Install the .NET 4.5 Full
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653
Install Visual Studio 2013 Express for Web
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx
Install the Visual Studio 2013 Build Tools
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx
Finally, even after that...it didn't work until I added the following registry keys. I would attach the .reg file but I don't see how.
Save the lines between the lines into a fixBuild.reg file. Then double click...
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VC7]
"FrameworkDir32"="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\"
"FrameworkDir64"="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64"
"11.0"="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\"
"FrameworkVer32"="v4.0.30319"
"FrameworkVer64"="v4.0.30319"
"12.0"="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\"
Finally, to actually do the build, I created a batch file that does the build.
Save the lines between the lines into a doBuild.cmd file. Be sure to place this in the root of the source download...then double click to build...
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat"
msbuild /t:FastBuild Orchard.proj
The first line gets your environment ready. The second build the project using the FastBuild target in the Orchard.proj file. You can read that file if you want to try other build targets.
******* EDIT
There is one thing I forgot to mention. And that is that one thing you have to do to get this to work is that you have to edit some CSPROJ files because the command line build fails with errors like these...
\Orchard\src\Orchard.Web\Modules\CKEditor\CKEditor.csproj(337,6): error : "None" element name for include "Placement.info" should be "Content".
\Orchard\src\Orchard.Web\Modules\Orchard.Tokens\Tests\Orchard.Tokens.Tests.csproj(82,6): error : "None" element name for include "app.config" sh

The fix is to do exactly what the error indicates. Open the csproj files and search/replace "
Also, some of the projects reference app.config files that do not exist in source. You also have to remove those references. I usually just delete the content node entirely or the group entirely.

When opening an MVC4 C# web project in Visual Studio 2013, the IDE reports the error "The type or namespace name '_' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference)", but the project builds and runs without any errors. Furthermore, intellisense does not include the project namespace.
The "missing" reference is to files within the same project.
for example; the web project namespace is "webproject.com", and references in a controller files to "webproject.com.models" is underlined in red with the error above.
I have checked the following:
All Solution projects are configured to use the same Target Framework(.Net 4)
web.config in the Views folder contains the namespace in the system.web.webPages.razor section
cleaned and rebuilt solution
deleted all bin and obj content
deleted .suo and .csproj.user files that were created by VS2010
The only way that I can get rid of these errors being reported in VS2013 is to unload then reload the project.
When opened in Visual Studio 2010 I do not get these problems.
I have the same issue.
ALthough the project compiles correctly, the code editor shows an error The type or namespace name '_' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference).
THere is one workaround. Just delete the *.SUO files and re-open the solution. THen for this only Session it works. Unfortunately after closing and reopening the solution the issue is back again. VS 2012 works fine.
Seems to be a bug in VS 2013....
My solution, when I encountered the problem with VS 2013 Express edition was to simply unload the offending project and reload. Opening the SUO or Project file and making changes had not affect.
Try to unload the project in VS2013, then right click the node and select edit "projectname.csproj". Check the individual references they might point to somewhere strange.
EDIT: the csproj file is an xml file and the references are located under Project -> ItemGroup -> Reference
I had the same issue.
It's a VS 2012 solution with different projects.
Search for all *.suo files and deleted them.
Rebuild and reopen Visual Studio.
There's a known issue with Web Application projects when bound to a TFS server that sounds like this issue. This occurs when the following TFS setting option is checked:
Options -> Source Control -> Environment -> Get everything when a solution or project is opened.
Disabling this option resolves the problem.

Same issue, on project reference.
I opened the referenced project file (*.csproj) with a text editor and did some cleanup:
1) reset these properties' values:
<PublishUrl>publish\</PublishUrl>
<InstallFrom>Disk</InstallFrom>
<UpdateEnabled>false</UpdateEnabled>
<IsWebBootstrapper>false</IsWebBootstrapper>
<TargetFrameworkProfile />
2) removed dirty platform/configurations:
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'x86|AnyCPU'">
...
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'x86|x86'">
...
Now I can compile without any issue.
Glad to share it with you! :))
Same issue. Opening the project's properties and making a change to the name (or any value) and then rebuilding seems to have resolved it.
I have just had this problem and none of the solutions here helped. I fixed mine by doing a repair of Visual Studio (An option when you select to uninstall the program). Hope this helps someone
I had same issue when I added a new class file ( e.g. MyClass.cs) and called it in some other C# code places. For some reason VS did not add that new class file to my working project folder (not seen in VS, but seen in Windows File Explorer). And, hence, the compile path for new class file is not included in the compile section of my project file (e.g. MyProject.csproj). So to solve this problem, First, right click on your working project > Add > Existing Item ... > Select your new class > OK.
Then, check the project file (*.csproj) and make sure a new element is inserted in the compile section such as:
Finally, rebuild your project and the problem should be solved.
Another reason for this issue is the project, I had long ago with VS, is my other project was set up with Client Profile as its target framework. So, to solve the issue: Right click your project in VS > Properties > Application tab > make sure Target Framework option is not Client Profile. You should change all projects in your solution to the same framework version AND all of them must not have Client Profile option.
Microsoft just released a new security update to be automatically applied to machines configured to use Microsoft Update.
Unfortunately, some ASP.NET MVC 3 and 4 VS projects can no longer build after the update is applied. These projects will fail with the following error:
"Could not locate the assembly "System.Web.Mvc,Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35,processorArchitecture=MSIL"
My project also had the error "The type or namespace name 'System.Web.Mvc' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference)". Installing the latest version of Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc solved my problem. See the following article from Microsoft for more info:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2014/10/16/microsoft-asp-net-mvc-security-update-broke-my-build.aspx
Unloading and then reloading the project worked for me.

TFS 2010 Custom Build Activity TF215097 error
I'm trying to create a CustomActivity to run after each successful build.
I've followed the exact steps of several tutorials
http://blogs.blackmarble.co.uk/blogs/rfennell/archive/2010/03/08/lessons-learnt-building-a-custom-activity-to-run-typemock-isolator-in-vs2010-team-build.aspx

http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=522&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
And all have lead me to the same result - The build fails after several seconds with this error:
TF215097: An error occurred while initializing a build for build definition
\MyCompany\Dev - Client: Cannot create unknown type '{clr-
namespace:BuildTasks.Activities;assembly=BuildTasks}TFSBuildLocalizer'.
I came down to a point where I have removed all custom references I had in the CodeActivity project and commented out all of the code.
I have added the output dll to the TFS, and I have the following post build script in the project's properties:
"$(DevEnvDir)\TF.exe" checkout "$/MyCompany/Development/Djenne/Dev/Tools/BuildProcess/Output/$(TargetFileName)"
copy /Y "$(TargetPath)" "C:\tfs2010\MyCompany\Dev\Tools\BuildProcess\Output\$(TargetFileName)"
"$(DevEnvDir)\TF.exe" checkin "$/MyCompany/Development/Djenne/Dev/Tools/BuildProcess/Output/$(TargetFileName)"
I've made sure that the namespace in the workflow xaml is correct for the custom CodeActivity.
I have no idea what else can I try,
Please help!
Thanks,
EDIT: I'm adding more descriptions about what I've already tried:
The CodeActivity class already have the attribute:
[BuildActivity(HostEnvironmentOption.All)]
The CodeActivity class is contained inside an Activity Library project.
Here is the ProjectTypeGuids tag inside the csproj file:
<ProjectTypeGuids>{32f31d43-81cc-4c15-9de6-3fc5453562b6};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>
In the custom workflow xaml I've added my CodeActivity right after "Get Impacted Tests, Index Sources and Publish Symbols"
I currently don'e have any InArgument nor OutArgument in my CodeActivity.
These are the references in my CodeActivity project:
Microsoft.CSharp
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client
System
System.Activities
System.Core
System.Data
System.Data.DataSetExtensions
System.Xaml
System.Xml
System.Xml.Linq
WindowsBase
In "Build Controller Properties" I have set the "Version control path to custom assemblies" with the same TFS path as my post build script:
$/MyCompany/Development/Djenne/DEV/Tools/BuildProcess/Output
In my Build Definition I've set "Build process template" with my custom workflow xaml.
Thank you guys for the answers, do you have any more thoughts?
Thanks
Ok, I got this thing figured out.
Here's what worked for me:
I've installed my dll to the GAC in the build server, ran the build and suddenly it worked!
gacutil.exe /i buildtasks
Afterwards, I've uninstalled the dll from the GAC, and it keeps working even still.
gacutil.exe /u buildtasks
Another thing, my project had several references which I also had to checkin in the same directory as the CodeActivity dll itself.
So to do that I've changed my project's post build script:
cd "C:\tfs2010\Djenne\Dev\Tools\BuildProcess\Output\"
"$(DevEnvDir)\TF.exe" checkout "$/TradeNetworks/Development/Djenne/Dev/Tools/BuildProcess/Output/*.*"
xcopy "$(TargetDir)*.*" "C:\tfs2010\Djenne\Dev\Tools\BuildProcess\Output\" /E /R /C /Y
The only thing left to do now is to figure out how to debug this damn thing.
But that's an issue for another question.
Thanks to everybody who helped,
Hope this will help anyone in the future as well.
EDIT:
One more thing I've noticed is every time I edit my custom workflow, it regenerates the xaml and removes the ";assembly=BuildTasks" suffix from the custom CodeActivity namespace (xmlns).
So after every change I need to edit the xaml to fix it over and over again, otherwise the same error reoccurres.
You have to decorate your class with the BuildActivity attribute. See http://www.ewaldhofman.nl/post/2010/05/27/Customize-Team-Build-2010-e28093-Part-7-How-is-the-custom-assembly-found.aspx at the bottom. There is an UPDATE section with more information.
Where is assembly of your CustomActivity? You must add this assembly to source control and introduce it to the Build Controller you are using. For this:
Right click on Builds node.
Select Manage build controllers.
Click properties.
In the "Version control path to custom assemblies" section, introduce your assembly.
I had this exact same problem. The reason was that I had compiled the library with the custom activities against the x86 platform and the Build Controller was running off of a 64-bit Windows 2008 VM. Switching the target platform to AnyCPU allowed the build controller to immediately utilize the library without having to add it to the GAC.
The problem may be related to the output dll being in TFS.
What could happen is the following:
TFS does a get latest
The output dll is fetched and is read only
TFS tries to build
The build tries to write to the dll
Since the dll is read only you get an exception
