I have a .NET service, it relies on several other dll's which my installer
installs. All files are installed to the same directory.
<ServiceInstall Id="MyServiceServiceInstall" DisplayName="MyService"
Name="MyService" ErrorControl="normal" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess"
Vital="yes" />
<ServiceControl Id="MyServiceServiceControl" Name="MyService"
Start="install" Stop="uninstall" Remove="uninstall" />
On XP the service starts fine.
On Vista the service does not start correctly. The service attempts to start
and then crashes. If straight after the installer I then start the service
via cmd prompt "Net Start MyService" or via the Services Tool my service
starts fine.
This is the Exception from the Service:
Could not load file or assembly 'MyAssembly, Version=1.4.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=**********' or one of its dependencies. The
application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is
incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.
This is the error in application event log.
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program
Files\Company\MyAssembly.dll". Dependent Assembly
Microsoft.VC90.CRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="*************",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8"
could not be found.
I have the following merge modules:
<Merge Id="CRT" Language="0" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Merge Modules\microsoft_vc90_crt_x86.msm" DiskId="1"
FileCompression="yes"/>
<Merge Id="CRT Policy" Language="0" SourceFile="C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm"
DiskId="1" FileCompression="yes"/>
<Merge Id="CRT64" Language="0" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86_x64.msm" DiskId="1"
FileCompression="yes"/>
<Merge Id="CRT Policy64" Language="0" SourceFile="C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86_x64.msm"
DiskId="1" FileCompression="yes"/>
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Andy
