File Not Found Exception after I Install on Client

Terry Bottorff — Thu, 11 Jul 2013 09:56:03 GMT

I get the following error after I install my project on a client. Install has worked fine on several other systems. It is not a web project. Can not find a reference in this forum for System.Web.

Hi Terry,
I am also using InstallAware, so yes, you need to select both .Net 4 and .Net 4 (X64) from the "Application Runtimes", but you don't need to select the
.Net Client 4 at all.

Well after checking my Installaware Modules I had selected to install the .Net 4 Framework and .Net 4 Client software. Probably the Client got installed and not the Complete framework. Not sure about that but that seems to be what happened. One other thing that I found out was I had .Net 4 and not .Net 4 (X64) and since the client's machine was 64 bit maybe had something to do with my issue.

Just more information to help others.

I am sure I do. I wanted it to but what I have to make sure is that it is the full version and not just the client.

I will check that immediately when I get back to my development machine.

Hi Terry,

I have my setup scripts configured to install the .Net 4 runtimes automatically, is your application installing these runtimes?

Your follow up is a perfect ending. Hopefully this helps someone else from pulling their hair out.

Thank you so much for the discussion and follow up.

.NET 4.5 is the same as .NET 4 with extra DLLs. They both use the same runtime... there might be some DLLs that are different, but most of them were probably the same. I would be willing to bet that you only had the Client Profile installed on your client machine. The .NET Client Profile is a subset of the .NET framework that only includes the DLLs that MS thinks a workstation should use. So, since System.Web is generally used for IIS, I'm betting that it's left out of the Client Profile, and I believe the CP is all that's installed on Windows 7/8 by default. Installing the full version of 4.5 definitely fixed it, though. I'm glad you got it working.

OK. This is what I found out and hopefully it will help others. On my development machine I have Microsoft .Net 4.5 installed and that apparently is different in terms of System.Web than version 4. Even thou I have .Net 4 as my target framework in my project apparently it loaded version 4.5 since that is what I have on my development machine. As soon as I installed 4.5 on client machine All worked fine.

I was at my wits-end and I thought Oh let me try this. And it worked.

Hope this helps someone else.

Does the Windows 7 machine have the .NET framework Client Profile installed, or the whole .NET framework? I'm not sure the Client Profile has any of the web stuff in it.
