BC2017 error

[PMK]

XP SP2

I create a new web app in VS2005 SP1 and immediately try to view the
default.asp page. I get error BC2017 "could not find library
'C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_32\System.EnterpriseServices\2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\System.EnterpriseServices.dll'"

I've found other references to this error that suggest either cleaning
out temp files, which I tried, or the MS KB artice at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897299/en-us?spid=7796&sid=118 which
suggests registering the dll. I tried that. It fails with error:
Failure adding assembly to the cache: The system cannot find the
file specified.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Peter,

acc. to KB897299, the workaround is "to register the DLL in the global
assembly cache by using the following command":

gacutil -i DriveLetter:\YourPath\YourAssemblyName.dll

and you should try to execute

gacutil -i C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework
\v2.0.50727\System.EnterpriseServices.dll

where the System.EnterpriseServices DLL is located.

However, I would recommend to reinstall the .NET Framework.

Hope, it helps

Hi Alexey,

Yes, the second registration did it. I did a lot of searching, but
never found any reference to that!

Thanks a lot,

Peter
