Error creating assembly manifest: An internal error occurred.

[Seth]

I am getting the following error and I do not have a clue as to why.

Error creating assembly manifest: An internal error occurred.

I get this error when I try to recompile/rebuild my ServicedComponent. I
also am unable to use the sn.exe util to create a new strong named key file.
I get an error that says "Failed to generate a strong name key pair -- An
internal error occurred."

Has anyone else had this issue before, and/or know how to fix it?

TIA

Seth

Sometimes if you dont have enough permissions to access Crypto keys in the
Application data directory, SN seems to fail.

1. Run "sn.exe -m", to find out if you are using "machine based" or "user
based" key containers.
2. If you are currently using "machine based" containers, switch to using
"user based" containers by typing "sn.exe -m n".
3. If you are currently using "user based" containers, switch to using
"machine based" containers by typing "sn.exe -m y".

Can you try this?

Thanks for the reply Girish. I was using machine based containers and I
switched to user based and I was able to create a key pair. I was also able
to build my application.

You are my hero!

Thanks again!
