I've written a custom task for analyzing code coverage results. While building the entire solution, I get the following error.
error MSB4018: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or
assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage.Analysis, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find
the file specified.
I checked the path specified during the build process and the dll location is correct. Yet, i get a FileNotFoundException.
Am I missing something?
Thanks...
This may sound like a silly suggestion, but have you checked that you're running the Visual Studio 200X Command Prompt and not the Visual Studio 200X x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt ?
I managed to fix the problem. I had to add the assembly to the GAC using gacutil.exe. The error vanished once the assembly was added.

I'm geting following error with msbuild run with grunt. From command line msbuild transform config runs fine. Have tried to install all the microsoft dependencies.
Any ideas what coule be the problem and is there some way to force grunt task to use visual studio build tools. To me it seems like grunt tries to use frame work build tools.

ITask.

For some reason GitHub Actions is not pulling in one Nuget package ConfigCat.Client but works fine for the remaining 20 packages. This is one solution with many projects. It works fine in VS Build as well as local msbuild command. I have another simple solution in GitHub Actions that works fine as well. I'm using a win-2019 server runner with .NET SDK 5.0. I get:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2203,5): warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference.

If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.
I'm running this (restore & build):

I've also tried changing the Platform to x64 with the same results.
Any insight or pointers is greatly appreciated.
Thanks to Péter Csajtai for solving the problem. The project was using packages.config and not restoring the nuget package as a result. Adding the parameter /p:RestorePackagesConfig=true to the restore resolved the issue. See also this question.
I just upgraded my Visual Studio to the latest version (1/30/2017).
My ASP.NET Core project was working before the upgrade, but I now get the following error that stops me. Are there any simple solutions to this?

In my particular case, I did a Clean Solution, Tools/options/NuGet Package Manager/Clear All NuGet Cache(s), then a reboot. Loading/building the project then worked.
Not sure how repeatable this is. I'm quite sure my project worked the first time I loaded it, then failed, then worked again after these steps. It has worked on 2 computers.
I solved this by running dotnet build in the Paket-Manager Console of VS Studio.
After the software was again debuggable
The easiest way to fix this is to create a new ASP.NET Core application, check its .csproj file and modify the old project based on it. A lot of things seem to have been removed and simplified and it's too much to list here.
I am trying to load a managed dll into my project. C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0\System.ServiceModel.dll
Its an Empty project. I paste this dll into my Asset/Plugin folder. I compile for Windows8 (Universal App)anyway it fails with all SO. I change API Compatibilty level to 2.0. It seems its load without problem. As soon as I play Unity the following mistake appears:
SpritePacker failed to get types from System.ServiceModel,
Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxx.
Error: The classes in the module cannot be loaded.
UnityEditor.Sprites.Packer:GetSelectedPolicyId()
Somebody with this problem?
Finally it worked out loading the dll from:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Unity\Editor\Data\MonoBleedingEdge\lib\mono\gac\System.ServiceModel\3.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089"
Other dlls where not valid. The reason why it is like this I do not know it.
I'm trying to use the Microsoft Shell Controls And Automation COM object library (C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll) from within an SSIS Script Task to manipulate .zip archives.
Unfortunately, although I have successfully added the relevant Reference and the Script Task compiles OK. I'm using VB.NET, for what it's worth. I get the following runtime error as soon as I try to create any objects defined within the library:
Error: 0x1 at Archive File: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.Shell32, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.

I thought the Interop DLL would all be taken care of for me - does anyone know what step am I missing?
SSIS needs all .dll references to be registered with the GAC, you are correct.
You have different options regarding installing this dll into the GAC:
Drag and drop the .dll into the %windir%\assembly\ folder.
Use the gacutil.exe you are thinking about using: Regarding installing into the GAC using the gacutil, there is alot of useful information here: Global_Assembly_Cache. Basically, if you have the .NET framework installed (you are using VB.NET so no problem there), you will have a gacutil.exe in your Microsoft.NET folder.
(What I normally use when all else fails) Create a windows MSI project in Visual Studio that automatically does all this for you, useful info here: How to install assembly in the GAC using MSI
If you install that .dll in the GAC and you are still having problems, another option is to actually create a separate visual studio project that contains your logic for manipulating the needed zip files build it and call its exe from SSIS using the Execute Process Task. You can pass arguments specified in the SSIS package. Not very elegant, but it gets the job done if you are keen on using SSIS.
UPDATE:
The solution in this question did the trick SSIS Script Task COMException / FileNotFoundException error. The problem was in adding a signed reference of the dll, this answer provides a good step-by-step workaround for adding a COM reference within the SSIS Script Task.
