Hi,
Light.exe works well with 1.1 .net environment. but when the code is
converted to 2.0 net environment the light cannot work on 2.0 assemblies. in
order to make light.exe to work add light.exe.config file with this
information:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
-->
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />
</startup>
</configuration>
now run light.exe on 2.0 net assembly files it will run successfully and the
MSI will be created.
Thanks & Regards,
Jyothi Gummadi
