.NET 4.0 LDAP bind fails after patch install - .net-4.0

Have a rather weird issue. Once .NET 4.0 framework patches are applied on a win2k3 box, the application running on it fails at the bind operation to AD. Specific error: System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException(0x80005000): Unknown error (0x80005000) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind()......
Performing a repair on the 4.0 framework and rebooting fixes the issue, but the next month when patches are applied it breaks again. During my research I have noticed that the most common cause of this is an OU with a / in it, but that is not the case here, and as I said, repairing the framework fixes the issue. Any ideas?

Upgraded ASP.NET and .NET Core runtime from 3.1 to 6.0.8 but application installer still detects old runtime

I need to upgrade an application in a Windows Server 2016 machine, and in order to do so they require ASP.NET Core runtime to be v3.1.1 or higher. I have installed v6.0.8, but when running the application installer it seems to still be detecting the old version and therefore can't run the update. I checked the new version is installed using "dotnet --list-runtimes" and it shows OK. I have also checked the registry, and confirmed the new version is there. I have restarted IIS as well. But so far nothing. What could I possibly be missing? I don't have control over the application code, so I can't access the runtime json file to modify version used as I have seen in some solutions.
Any help, appreciated. Thanks.

HTTP Error 502.5 - Process Failure in .Net core 1.1

WCF Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program on windows XP

I have a windows forms application running on .NET 4 that communicates with a WCF web service. The application is compiled to run with X86 as the platform target. The application was deployed on a network of hundreds of computers, and there are only a couple, that happen to have a windows XP version installed (Microsoft Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, service pack 3 to be more precise) that launch the error "Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program" upon calling the constructor of the WCF proxy class object. In order to isolate the problem, I created a small console application that the only thing it does is to call the constructor of the web service proxy class, like:
ItesWebServiceClient m_webService = new ItesWebServiceClient("BasicHttpBinding_IItesWebService");
And the exception is then thrown:
stacktrace output
The same console app runs on all other computers, even the ones with the same windows version.
We've already tried repairing and re-installing .Net framework on the failing computers but so far nothing fixes it. I also used the PEVerify tool to validate MSIL and ran the code in debug mode (no optimizations) as suggested on other posts.
Is there something I'm missing? could there be a key .Net framework component or hot fix that needs to be installed?
Thanks
Ok it turns out that the person who was re-installing the .Net framework on the machines was always installing the .net client profile version. Uninstalling that version and installing the full .net 4 version solved it.

Can any one please give me a solution?

This usually means you already have a .NET installation on your system but it's corrupted.
If this is the case you can try the following:
Go to Control Panel->Programs and Features and open the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile installer.
Select Repair .NET Framework 4 Client Profile to its original state. Reboot afterwards.
After this is done try to reinstall .NET Framework 4 using the offline installer

One of the assemblies in MS Expression Encoder SDK fails to resolve

I have an year or so old application which uses Expression Encoder 3 to generate thumbnails. Few of the users are complaining that they are receiving the following exception:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Expression.Encoder.Utilities.dll' or one of its dependencies. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.
The application contains in itself the required EE3 assemblies in the setup, so as such installation of Expression Encoder is not required.
All these crashes started to occur after the application was upgraded to .net 4.
Any clues on what might be happening?
[EDIT] Was able to reproduce the issue on one of our local systems. We did a clean install of Windows XP. Installed .net 4 and then our app. It crashed with the same exception. We could fix the issue by installing .net 3.5!
I was quick to point fingers at .net 4 backward compatibility.
So the question remains: any clues on what might be happening?
According to this question this seems to be an issue with EE3 itself in that it requires EE to be installed (via the installer) to work properly.
Sadly this also seems to be the case for EE4, according to this thread, due to a codec licence issue.
Sorry :/
Have you looked at MediaFoundation? it might serve as an alternative, although ive never used it myself.
I had similar problems, where it wasn't working on a Windows7 64-bit server.
Here's some things I've learnt:
You must modify your project's build settings so it has a target platform of "x86".
You must ensure that the "Desktop Experience" feature is enabled on the target machine. See this blog.
