Application error -

WrCombs

So being told this is a windows issue, but I'm not sure how.

screen shot shows the error im getting, where would I start to look to resolve this?

I tried chaning the config file to be

dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="this horrible app" publickeyToken="6600690645cefb43" culture="neutral"/>
       <BindingRedirect oldversion="0.0.0.0-2.0.78.0" 
new version="2.0.78.0"/> // I changed this to "4.0.0.0"

with no change (see comment in code above)
I uninstalled, created backup of old folder and removed it from the directory, still nothing.

I've been beating my head against my desk with this for weeks now.

any advice would be appreciated.

@WrCombs you could try repairing .Net, there's a .Net repair tool out there. What version of .Net does this application require? And is this computer fully patched with updates?

You could also fire up Process Monitor and see what the program is specially looking for. It's probably checking the GAC and other locations for something.

Testing of it works on a new Windows User account is always worth a try on weird issues.

Got more information, I guess the software team looked at the configuration and said it was something in windows and needed us to check with the firewall company for ports 443 and 80 being opened so it will work like it's supposed to.
I'm downloading wireshark right now to see if I can see anything (gut instinct) - I just want to see what packets are being sent when I run this and hopefully find out when it blows up.

PC is Windows 11 and fully patched to my knowledge. it requires .net 4.0 or higher (4.9 is installed) I did run a repair on the existing .net through the MSI..

I'll try that out and see what I can find.

I tried that last week when I was working on this.

Oh, I just noticed that it looks like the client is rethrowing an error that the server giving. In which case Process Monitor will only help you if you run it on the server.

.Net 4.0 is not .Net 4.9

Are you sure it allows .Net 4.0 or higher?

Pretty sure.. it wont let me install .net 4.0 because a higher version is already installed.

After the day I've had I just have to insert a trifle bit of humor.

Format drive and move to Linux.

Sorry... NAS was out for a outage Saturday, nearly got killed this morning heading in to address a switch down, and this afternoon the Firewall failed over and failed completely..

So glad to be home and where is my beer.

Maybe some useful information;

Does this error happen for anyone else? other computers?
What is the application?
Software team said check the FW for ports 443 and 80? See question 1.
Windows 11? Please tell me this application was TESTED and APPROVED to run on Windows 11.... We ran into a number of issues when a person clicked the Upgrade Now from MS. We had to replace her computer because it was faster then Re-installing Win10... your issue could just be it's Win11....
Won't let you install .net 4.0? Uninstall and reinstall? Or - Reload the machine.

In dotnet applications developers can build their applications against different version of .net.

As we know, the gazzilion .NET versions is a mess. So to alleviate the mess the application have config files with redirect bindings so you can decide which version of .net the application should use - even if it was intended for another version.

Since you don't have 4.0 you can try and redirect to 4.8 instead.

However you can also install 3.5 on Windows 11 and redirect to that, which I think maybe has a higher probability of succeeding. Since 3.5 is backwards compatible with 2.x and 3.x applications and it looks like your application originally required version 2.x.

There is actually a good chance that just installing 3.5 will solve your problem, because there are automatic redirects going on as well. (But undo your changes to the config file).

this is a chain restaurant, other locations on windows11 are running fine, they can get the application to import correctly from another device on a different network.

What is the application?

RTI Connect - inventory and employee tracking.

Software team said check the FW for ports 443 and 80? See question 1.

they are claiming that is the issue.

Windows 11? Please tell me this application was TESTED and APPROVED to run on Windows 11.... We ran into a number of issues when a person clicked the Upgrade Now from MS. We had to replace her computer because it was faster then Re-installing Win10... your issue could just be it's Win11....

it works for other locations just fine with Windows11

I get an error when trying to install 4.0

got an error on installing /net 3.5 ; through google-fu I found a cumulative update that didn't install, I think I'm getting closer to cracking this one open and getting it fixed

appreciate the push in the right direction.

Windows 11 install is corrupt.. according to documents from Microsoft forums about this error code I keep getting.

Followed the directions.. So now we have to reload the PC to get this fixed.

Sounds like crazy, but the Net3.5 it usually downloads from Windows Update on WIndows 10 21H1 and 21H2 so it should be the same for Windows 11.

I get that, saw that online while looking up the issue I'm having.. but it wont do the windows updates, I get the same error when it tries to install the updates, which tells me something in the windows upgrade broke something important.. correct me if I'm wrong - but at this point nothing I've done has fixed it.

Windows update service was off, I turned it back on and see the cumulative update for .NET framework 3.5 and 4.8 , it's trying to install now. but if this doesn't work, I'm out of options. unless someone can give more insight on how to resolve it, of course.

Try

SFC /scannow

SFC /scannow

If corruption is suspected, there's no harm in running chkdsk against the filesystem too.

@gjacobse , @notverypunny
system scan found corrupt files, rebooting now.
Says some were unable to be fixed but I'm gonna try a reboot and see what happens.
