WARNING: Unable to find dependency 'mscorlib'

[Nak]

Hi there,

I'm getting some strange warnings appearing while I'm compiling a couple
of setup projects I have in a solution. I'm being informed of the following
warnings,

WARNING: Unable to find dependency 'mscorlib' (Signature='B77A5C561934E089'
Version='1.0.5000.0') of assembly 'System.dll'
WARNING: Unable to find dependency 'mscorlib' (Signature='B77A5C561934E089'
Version='1.0.5000.0') of assembly 'System.Xml.dll'

It's also appearing for a couple of other dependencies included in the
project that are "non-Microsoft", but the above ones confuse me. Any ideas
as to what is happening? or should I just ignore these as all *seems* to be
fine. Cheers in advance.

Nick.

Hi there again,

I've also just noticed that System.Xml.dll is now being redistributed
with my setup programs, what would be the reason for the IDE to to do this?
"Copy local" is still set to false so I'm slightly confused with this one
:-\ It's not in the projects Bin folder, but it *is* being redistributed
with the setup, I presume this is half the reason why I am experiencing
these errors, or the errors are the reason why the file is being
distributed. I would rather have the 1.27mb OUT of my setup!!!! It more
that doubles the size of the download. Any ideas? Cheers again.

Nick.

Hi there,

I have found a resolve for the other 2 non Microsoft assembiles by
compiling them to version 1.0 of the Framework. Which is pretty strange
because I had found in the past that 1.1 assemblies did not work with 1.0
assemblies, has Microsoft changed this in one of the service packs?

Anyway, that also removed the other 2 warnings! Stange but sorted now
none the less!

Nick.

Hi Nick,

Yes, the behavior is somewhat strange, it seems that there is something
messy in your framework configuration. I think you may try to reinstalled
the .net framework 1.1.

Hi Peter,

Is this possible even though I have already installed 1.1 Service Pack
1? As I am aware I thought my framework installation was okay, I installed
1.0 then 1.1 then service packed both, unless of course I should do 1.0
service pack that, then 1.1 and service pack that, which seems even more
weird as it would mean that the service packs are conflicting in some way.
Hmmm!

Hi

Commonly the newer version should be installed later, so it seems that the
order is OK.
But from the error it seems that the mscorlib's version is not correct, I
am not sure if there is anything change after you installed .net 1.1,so I
suggest you reinstall the .net framework1.1 and sp1 to see if that works.
