Could not load file or assembly '0 bytes loaded from system...Error

Jeff Pagley — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:13:44 GMT

Hi SF Team,

I have a SF application currently running successfully on several Vista machines. However, on one of the Vista machines I am getting the error below. Can anyone tell me why I am getting this error only on this Vista pc and not the others?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Dustin,

The error does occur when I am trying to preview an XtraReport. I will look into checking all of those issues you suggested.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Is this Vista OS a 64bits on AMD processor?

If so, make sure your compiled project Target CPU value is setup as "x86" instead of "AnyCPU" which is the VS default unless your application directly supports 64bits OS.

You will find this option in your Project's Compile option -> Advance Compile Options.

Where I said "on-the-[i]file[/i] assembly compiles" I meant "on-the-[b]fly[/b] assembly compiles" :)

I'm assuming ProspectHelper.exe is your app? Have you tried ensuring the environment is the same as the other machines? DEP, Firewalls, etc. are set to match?

I've also seen active antivirus mess with those on-the-file assembly compiles, which could be part of the problem. In our own app, certain active anti-viruses will delete the run-time complied script .DLLs that PerpetuumSoft generates when printing reports. If XtraReports does something similar, it could be a similar issue.

Try stripping off everything along those lines: AntiVirus, Firewall, Spyware, DEP, UAC, basically anything that will try and interfere with your environment "for your own protection" and see if you have better results.

Past that, I would agree with Greg that it sounds like a corrupted file hanging out there. The stack trace makes it sound like it is trying to pull an image out of a dynamically generated assembly, but if I'm misreading that and it is actually trying to pull out of a static assembly, you'll need to figure out which one and identify the bad copy.

Yes I did try a reinstall, but I got the same error.

You've probably tried this, but it seems like the file is corrupt (or maybe the HD is dying), so did you try a reinstall?
