I've built an application in VS2015 with intention to run on .NET 4.6 only. So I went to the app.config file and edited it to be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.6" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
Then on my target machine (win 7, 64bit) I have installed the .NET 4.6 (Web installation). Even after rebooting that machine and trying to run my application I get the error saying that my application requires one of the following versions of .NET Framework - v4.6. Why is that? It seems like the 4.6 is not recognized by Windows 7? Thanks in advance.
E
The supportedRuntime version (first version Id) is invalid. It should be "4.0" instead of "4.6".
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6" />
</startup>
I have a small web application. Which was working fine until I added two genericHandler in my application.
I have made the following changes for the http handler
<system.web>

<forms protection="All" timeout="720" defaultUrl="Default.aspx" loginUrl="Login.aspx" >
</forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>

I am using asp.net4.0 and C#. I am not using MVC
On local host it is working fine.
But when I am hosting the published code it is giving me the above error.

It appears that Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll is not being installed in the GAC, even if .net (4.0 or 4.5 or other) are installed successfully on Windows Server. On localhost (typically Windows client), it seems like it is being in the GAC when the tools/platform (Visual Studio etc.) are installed.
As one possible fix, please try the following:
Run the following command in the Package Manager Console. (If you are using Visual Studio, this can be reached via menu options "Tools --> Library Package Manager --> Package Manager Console:)
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure
You will see the following messages if it is successfully installed.
Successfully installed 'Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure 1.0.0.0'.
Successfully added 'Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure 1.0.0.0' to Web.
You will notice that Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll has now been added as a Reference (can be seen in the references folder of your project in in Solution Explorer)
If you look at the properties of this reference you will notice that "Copy Local" has been set to "True" by default.
Now when you "Publish " your project, Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll will be deployed.
I installed MVC4 via WPI and it helped me.
I had the same problem. When I tried the accepted answer (rockyb), I got the message that the package was already installed and assigned to my project. When I checked the references list, it was NOT referenced, however.
The Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure was installed in my solution's packages folder. Instead of using NuGet to add the package, I just used the Add Reference option. On the left side of the pop-up window, I chose Browse, and then pressed the Browse button on the bottom of the window. I navigated to the packages folder under the folder that my solution was in, then drilled down to the ...\mysolution\packages\Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.1.0.0.0\lib\net40 and clicked on the Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll. After clicking OK, the package showed up in my References list. I used the Web Deploy Package option to deploy my website and everything worked.
Why not copy Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll file manually to the server BIN folder. This works for. My project is VS2010 Website.
This file can be located:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 4\Packages\Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.1.0.0.0\lib\net40
Just copy and paste it in the BIN folder.
You probably need to include this in the web.config if you don't have it already
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
</assemblies>
</compilation>

I found the problem. Instead of adding a class (.cs) file by mistake I had added a Web API Controller class which added a configuration file in my solution. And that configuration file was looking for the mentioned DLL (Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure 1.0.0.0).
It worked when I removed that file, cleaned the application and then published.
After installing Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure through Nuget-Package Manager
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure
Copy the Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll manually from the Nuget-Package folder on your web application and then paste it in your bin folder of your web application deployed on the web server.
packages\Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.1.0.0.0\lib\net40\Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll
It worked for me.
Update-Package -reinstall Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure didn't work for me, as I kept receiving errors that it was already installed.
I had to navigate to the Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.1.0.0.0 folder in the packages folder and manually delete that folder.
After doing this, running Install-Package Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure installed it.
Note: CopyLocal was automatically set to true.
Sometimes needs to delete the package with force then reinstall it
its works for me.
try delete package
Uninstall-Package Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure -force
then install again
Install-Package Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure
I had the same problem and the "Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll" appeared to be missing. I have tried few advises and installed MVC`s etc. and nothing helped. The solution was to install "Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 1.0 SP1 for Microsoft .NET" which includes Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll.
Available at: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=4065
I had the same problem. I tried installing Visual Studio 2010 SP1 but it didn't worked.
Finally I get Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll from the colleague. You can find the dll into your friends PC where the project is perfectly working. Try to search dll into Temp/Temporary ASP.NET Files. Go to Temp using %temp% into run window.
After getting dll into your pc, just add reference to your project and it will work.
Republishing the site fixed the issue for me.
Was facing the same issue and unfortunately nothing here was working. Finally, I came across this link: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/jjameson/2009/11/18/the-copy-local-bug-in-visual-studio/
Turns out the solution is sort of dumb: set copy-local for the microsoft.web.infrastructure dll to False, then set it back to True.
By the way, I think what is happening is that there are two versions of the microsoft.web.infrastructure dll, one that is pre-installed in the GAC, and another one that is now a nuget package. I think one is masking the other, hence causing issues. In my particular case, on my build server, I need it to be copied over to a folder (this folder is then zipped and sent off to deployment). I guess the system had a copy locally and just thought "nah, it'll be fine"
I have a files only website. Added MVC 5 to webforms application (targeting net45). I had to modify the packages.config
package id="Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc" version="5.2.3" targetFramework="net45"
to
package id="Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc" version="5.2.3" targetFramework="net45" developmentDependency="true"
in order for it to startup on local box in debug mode (previously had the top described error). Running VS 2017 on Windows 7...opened through File > Open > Web Site > File (chose root directory outside of IIS).
I had the same problem after upgrading a bunch of NuGet packages.
I have tried all kinds of deleting, cleaning, resintalling described here and beyong to no avail. The references did not have Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure despite the NuGet manager showed it was installed.
The problem was solved by replacing:
<package id="Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure" version="1.0.0.0" targetFramework="net45" />
with
<package id="Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure" version="1.0.0.0" targetFramework="net46" />
in packages.config. The culprit is apparently "net45".
Visual Studio 2022 .net.4.8
I just run this and is solved
you can install this dll using nuget package manager
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure -Version 1.0.0
I just started to work on WebMatrix, I did this tutorial to learn the basic and then I started with this one to get started with Entity Framework on WebMatrix (Note: That tutorial is for WebMatrix 1, but the only thing I see changed was the way you install helpers into your project). The thing is, I installed the Entity Framework helper, but my project doesn't recognize the EntityFramework.dll.
I get this error The type or namespace name 'MaxLength' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?). But the EntityFramework.dll does appear in my bin folder, what is going on? I don't understand why the reference isn't working.
This is my Web.config file according to the second tutorial and after installing the EntityFramework helper:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->
</configSections>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"><assemblies><add assembly="System.Data.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" /><add assembly="System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" /></assemblies></compilation>
</system.web>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="BookContext" connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|Books.sdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
This is the compiler output link
Am I missing something? Why does the EntityFramework.dll isn't being recognized properly by my project?
UPDATE
I thought the problem was solved when I copied the EntityFramework.dll from a webpage project created in Visual Studio 2012, but even though the errors aren't shown anymore, WebMatrix still doesn't recognize annotations like Table, Column, ForeignKey, InverseProperty, etc.
I really don't understand, a simple database is created but I can't use the EntityFramework annotations to specify all I need for the database. WebMatrix should recognize the EntityFramewor.dll but it is not. I need help in this one because I'm really lost.
The error that you see is the end result of the version of EntityFramework installed on your site.
The EntityFramework 5.0 package installs version 4.4 or 5.0 of the EntityFramework.dll depending on the version of .NET (4.0 or 4.5) that the project is targeting.
In my experience, installing EntityFramework from the NuGet Gallery in WebMatrix always copies version 4.4 of EntityFramework.dll into the bin folder: you can check it looking at Properties --> Details of the EntityFramework.dll file.
The only solution I know is to download EntityFramework v.5.0 using VisualStudio Express or another standalone utility (look at this post: Install Entity Framewok v5 in Webmatrix 2 RC) and simply replace the dll installed by NuGet Gallery in WebMatrix with this one.
UPDATE
Other problems experimented with EntityFramework v.5.0 and WebMatrix are that the type 'System.Data.EntityState' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced and that is needed a using directive for DataAnnotations.Schema.
The first problem is resolved adding the following reference to web.config (look at Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.Entity):
<add assembly="System.Data.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
The second problem needs the addition of the directive
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;
to the code.
Anyway, in my opinion WebMatrix isn't the right tool for developing a site based on EntityFramework.
I'm getting started with WatiN to test my web interface. The problem I'm having is the following:
When I start the tests from within TestDriven.net, I have no problem. If I use the ReSharper test runner, I get this predictable AppartmentState exception.
I tried using the different options described here: http://watin.sourceforge.net/apartmentstateinfo.html#testdriven. Nothing helps.
Any suggestions?
I've use Resharper test runner in most of my watin test projects. To get it to work use the same method as for nunit:
http://watin.sourceforge.net/apartmentstateinfo.html#nunit
App.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="NUnit">
<section name="TestRunner" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/>
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<NUnit>
<TestRunner>
<!-- Valid values are STA,MTA. Others ignored. -->
<add key="ApartmentState" value="STA" />
</TestRunner>
</NUnit>
</configuration>
With NUnit 2.5, RequiresSTA attribute should be the tool of choice.
Using Resharper 5.1 with VisualStudio 2010 Ultimate I found that I needed to change my Resharper options to disable "Shadow-copy assemblies being tested" (found in Resharper --> Options --> Tools --> Unit Testing).
Additionally, I also found that the correct naming for the config file is the one which includes the dll extension (so: assemblyname.dll.config).
I am trying to run the sample tests for NUnit, and I am getting an error. I have the supportedRuntime versions set to v1.0.3705 up to v2.0.50727. I have the requiredRuntime version set to v2.0.50727. Is this the wrong setting?
The following is the error that shows:
Metadata file 'c:\Program Files\NUnit 2.4.8\bin\nunit.framework.dll' could not be opened -- 'Version 2.0 is not a compatible version.'
I got the same problem with the CSharp examples in 2.4.8 "right out of the box" with VS2005. Here's my solution.
In nunit.exe.config, the following block is commented-out by default. Put it back in.
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50215" />
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.40607" />
<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />
<supportedRuntime version="v1.0.3705" />
<requiredRuntime version="v1.0.3705" />
</startup>
It sounds like you did that but changed the requiredRuntime from the default of v1.0.3705 to v2.0.50727
After that, I opened the CSharp project in VS2005 and converted it. The nunit.framework references all had the icon that shows they are wrong. So I deleted the nunit.framework reference from all 4 projects:
cs-failures
cs-money
cs-money-port
cs-syntax
Then I added new references to C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.4.8\bin\nunit.framework.dll to replace them.
After that the project builds fine.
