I’m using Eazfuscator for a while for my project and everything is working as it should be until, I created a copy of Release build configuration called “Release-Internal”. I also updated the post build event and changed the script to “if /I "$(ConfigurationName)" NEQ "Debug"...". Now all of my projects obfuscate without any problems but only one of them displays the following error:
(EF-1099 error occurred.
4> Obfuscator can not load the input assembly or one of its
dependencies.
4> To resolve this issue you can:
4> - Specify a probing path
4> - Put a missing assembly near the input file
4> More information can be found in Eazfuscator.NET Documentation at
4> Troubleshooting -> Error Codes Knowledge Base -> EF-1099 chapter.)
The interesting part is if I change the active configuration to “Release” the same project obfuscates without any problems. The difference between the “Release” and “Release-Internal” configurations are just that the “Release-Internal” has an extra conditional compilation symbol called INTERNAL.
I also build the project without obfuscation with the “Release-Internal” config. The application build succeed and executed as it should be.
Best regards,
From the build output, it seems you are building projects in parallel.
I'm thinking there's a missing dependency at the time Eazfuscator.NET tries to load your assembly.
I recommend trying to set the "maximum number of parallel project builds" to 1 in Visual Studio IDE > Tools > Options > "Projects and Solutions" and try again.
The event viewer may have some more information (ex. side-by-side errors).
You can also try to enable assembly bind failure logging to try to identify which specific dependencies could not be found. See: How to enable assembly bind failure logging (Fusion) in .NET
It could be as simple as setting "Copy Local" to true in the project's reference properties of the missing dependency.
You can read the "EF-1099: Unable to load input assembly, reflection load failed" help topic in "Eazfuscator.NET Documentation.chm" > Troubleshooting > Error Codes Knowledge Base. The help document for Eazfuscator.NET 3.2.278.32704 has "Instructions on enabling the architecture-neutral loading mode of Eazfuscator.NET" in the same help topic.

I'm facing a problem right now and I don't really know how to get more informations about it.
I've converted a desktop application through Microsoft's Desktop App Converter, made some manual modifications about the visual assets, and rebundled it through "makeappx.exe". Then I signed it.
Everything went fine. Except that when I double click the appx to check it, I have the following window:
Appx Error
Which roughly translates as "Couldn't open the appx or appxbundle file" and "Reason: Failure caused by an unknown reason".
This does not helps me a lot :/
However, if I try to install the package through a simple "Add-appxpackage MyPackage.appx", it works perfectly fine.
Could anyone help me find some leads on what's happening here? I've already checked the event viewer as explained here but I couldn't find anything unusual.
Thanks,
Skefrep
It seems the Microsoft team has taken notice of this problem and investigated this appropriately.
-Here is their solution-
The problem can be because when you convert an app with DesktopBridge the resources are signed with the manifest info and store that info in the .pri files you found in PackageFiles folder. Later, when you change something like the Publisher or the Name this signature doesn't match. To fix this you only need to recreate the .pri files.
rm *.pri. Remove the old .pri files.
cd C:\foo\PackageFiles\. Change current directory to the PackageFiles folder. This step is important for the next step.
makepri createconfig /cf priconfig.xml /dq en-US. Create a configuration file for the resources.
makepri new /pr "C:\foo\PackageFiles" /cf "C:\foo\PackageFiles\priconfig.xml". Generate the new *.pri files.
Then you can make the package as usual: MakeAppx, etc.
You can find more information about this problem in "Failed due to unknown reasons" error when you try to sideload a Desktop Bridge app - App Consult Team.
I'd like to schedule a KNIME workflow. The workflow does its job very good as long as I start it from the KNIME GUI application. When I execute the same workflow via command line, java complains that com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
could not be found (ClassNotFoundException).
I invoke it via:
"D:\Progamme\KNIME\knime.exe" -nosplash -application -consoleLog org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -preferences="absolutepathto\preferences.epf" -workflowDir="absolutepathto\workflow"
Since the error message signals missing content in the java CLASSPATH I also tried to add the parameters
-vmargs -classpath .;"absolutepathto/sqljdbc42.jar"
But still I earn a java slap, pointing to the same error...
I also tried to run the command from within the knime.exe's directory and I also tried to add the JAR file to Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variable / User Libraries (referenced via the -preference argument). But that had no effect.
Did anybody face the same problems? Maybe with other third party JARs?
It is all about a Database connector that is configured like this:
Does the integrated security maybe force a misleading error?
System spec: KNIME 3.2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2
Update - extract from preferences file
/configuration/org.eclipse.core.net/org.eclipse.core.net.hasMigrated=true

Is there maybe a problem due to the fact that it is a shared KNIME instance among several users and the command line execution does not know which workspace has to be chosen? Is the workspace somehow needed and why?
Partial Solution:
I finally managed it but I don't know exactly why it works now. What I did was to load a fresh portable version of KNIME and ran the same commands only changing the executable path to the new portable version. Before that I started the portable version once to set the workspace directory and register the database driver in preferences dialog and .ini file, nothing else, same configuration so far as the shared KNIME instance. What I am really wondering abpout is that from now on the commands are also working with the shared KNIME instance. I really don't know what caused the change that let KNIME find the driver class.
Info
Because I encountered a few more problems within shared environment in KNIME command line mode, that led to undeterministic execution results, I wrote a little .NET library. This gives me more flexibility/control over the workflow execution (which returncodes and error messages occured and so on). You can find it here if you're interested: KnimeNet
I took a very minimal approach:
cd "C:\Program Files\KNIME"
.\knime -nosplash -noexit -consoleLog -reset -application org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -workflowFile="D:\Work\Knime Workflows\Output\CMD_Test.knwf" -preferences="D:\Work\Knime Workflows\Output\CMD_Test.epf"
After adding Catel implementation to one of my views(mainPage) in my project I have a bug that crashes my Silverlight project. The only indication I have is :" A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Catel.MVVM " (just about after setting the RootVisual~) - I can't find what I'm doing wrong, and since I am planing on a long-term relationship with Catel I thought that stepping through Catel code might come in handy, so I tried and failed in all the following steps (any help will be appreciated.. because currently I'm stuck and can't find anything):
downloaded catel 3.9 source files (same as my nuget package) and tried building it.. failed with this error :
E:\Dev\Catel-3.9.0\src\Catel.Core\Catel.Core.SL5\Fody.targets(51,5): error MSB4036: The "Fody.WeavingTask" task was not found. Check the following: 1.) The name of the task in the project file is the same as the name of the task class. 2.) The task class is "public" and implements the Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask interface. 3.) The task is correctly declared with in the project file, or in the *.tasks files located in the "E:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319" directory. - trying to search and figure the reasons and overcome this, lead me to nowhere. :(
i have followed this "Stepping through the code" instruction in Catel documentation but noting really happened (I'm using VS2010..is this an issue ?? )
I read this article & readme.md at : https://github.com/GeertvanHorrik/GitHubLink about using GitHubLink to help you stepping through Catel code while debugging. I downloaded the release GitHubLink 1.3.0 from https://github.com/GeertvanHorrik/GitHubLink/releases/tag/1.3.0 ... but running this even with just the githublink.exe -help flag had thrown a exception..
I downloaded the Githublink-master source files but 0 projects were loaded (the GithubLink project file is incompatible with the current version of VS - I'm using VS2010)
can anyone help me either shade some light or:
overcome the build error I receive for catel (no.1)
instruct me how to set & step into catel ?
share the pdb files for Catel libs
It completely depends on the version you are using. If you are using the latest official one (3.9), stepping through the code is only possible by cloning the master branch and building the PDB files yourself.
In the latest prerelease versions via NuGet (the upcoming 4.0 version) you only have to enable the source server checkbox.
Note that you should never have to use GitHubLink yourself, that is for developers only (we run it during the build of Catel).
About the Fody task: it looks like the NuGet packages have not yet been restored on your side. In the lib folder there is a RestorePackages.bat which you can run to restore the packages.
I tried debugging on VS2012 and using Catel 4 pre-release (from Nuget)..
although I believe I did all the right things & settings in VS, I didnt get much further..
So I Opened (using a bin editor) the pdb file that was pulled by Nuget with the DLL, and took a look at the bin file.
the file have strings pointing to the source files at this directory :
C:\ci_ws\WS\1629\source\catel\src\catel/mvvm\catel.mvvm.shared..
So I have created a tree that starts with
c:\ci_ws\ws\1629\source
and downloaded the catel folder to that dir, renamed it from
"Catel-Develop" to just "Catel" in order to feet the location the pdb pointed.
To get things going I also had to add a "Symbol File(.pdb) location" in VS
option-> settings->Debugging->Symbols..(location/server list) to where the nuget download the packages.
in my case.. SolutionFolder\Packages\Catel.MVVM.3.9.0.1406062245-beta\lib\sl50..(I'm using Silverlight)
and then I was able to load the symbols and step/break into the code successfully ..
Maybe I missing something and there is a better way, but this the only way that worked for me..
The only question that still remains for me now is : What is the name of the Catel Github source branch that is matching the pre-release dll and pdb that Nuget is publishing at the moment (3.9.0.1406062245) ?
(I unchecked the general debug settings of : require source files to exactly match the original version)
I'm receiving this error when I attempt to start an app using google app engine :
Loading modules
com.bookmark.Mobile_bookmark
[ERROR] Unable to find 'com/bookmark/Mobile_bookmark.gwt.xml' on your classpath; could be a typo, or maybe you forgot to include a classpath entry for source?
[ERROR] shell failed in doStartup method
I don't have a file called Mobile_bookmark.gwt.xml. My project name is mobile-bookmark
Why is this error occuring ?
If it's looking for Mobile_bookmark.gwt.xml (the wrong file), I'd check how you are starting the server.
For example, under Eclipse, I'd check run configurations --> arguments to see if "Mobile_bookmark" got into there. (you can get to run configurations by selecting the little triangle next to either the green debug or run button you use to start it --- or RUN (menu in eclipse) -- run configurations -- select your project)
Change the file name to whatever *.gwt.xml file you do have. I suspect it's mobile-bookmark.gwt.xml.
Look under /src/yourpath/yourproject/
Your layout is probably like:
/src/yourpath/yourproject/*.gwt.xml
/src/yourpath/yourproject/client
/src/yourpath/yourproject/server
I am using the Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine to build a number of projects. Projects that do not use Silverlight are building correctly while projects that do use Silverlight are not building. All of these projects (Silverlight and non-Silverlight) all build fine through Visual Studio 2008. I get the error message:
error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'SilverlightControls' does not exist in the
namespace 'System.Web.UI' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
I've added System.Web.Silverlight to the project that is doing the build using Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine. I am able to see that namespace in the project doing the build also (so it appears that the project doing the build does have access to System.Web.UI).
Any ideas on how I can avoid that error?
Turned up the verbosity on the build through VS2008 and compared to the log created from the Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine. It looks like the Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine is producing lines like:
Considered "c:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework
\v3.5\System.Web.Silverlight.dll", but it didn't exist.
It doesn't exist in that location, should it? There are actually a number of locations that it looks for that dll and doesn't find it. I added the reference by right clicking, add reference, .Net, add. There doesn't appear to be a System.Web.Silverlight.dll on my machine (which is odd because the project does compile using VS2008).
Comparing the possibly relevant sections of the two logs:
Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine
For SearchPath "{GAC}".
Considered "System.Web.Silverlight, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL", which was not found in
the GAC.
Visual Studio 2008
System.Web.Silverlight, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL
Manually added System.Web.Silverlight to the path that the Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine was looking for it (coppied it from the output directory when I build the project via VS2008). This solved that problem, but I now get the following errors on the Silverlight components of the solution:
C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\Silverlight
\v2.0\Microsoft.Silverlight.Common.targets(95,9): error : The Silverlight 2 SDK is not
installed.
Any ideas?
In the application that is running the Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine I changed the type of build from Any CPU to x86. This has now made the application be able to build the target as expected.
So you're programmatically building using the MSBuild APIs?
It may be useful to add an ILogger (e.g. that just prints to the console) to engine.Loggers, and compare the output with the output window in VS (after setting e.g. 'tools\options\project & solutions\build & run\msbuild output verbosity' to verbose)... seems like somehow the environment is causing assemblies to resolve differently?
Set build type of project to Any. This helps. Happy coding...
