Assembly Load Failure

[Russ]

Can anyone please explain what the following means, and how to debug?
Everything was working fine and suddenly nothing is working due to
this failure. I thought it was due to a DLL mismatch in the DLL's
used by my web service because I recopied the DLL's and it started
working. But then I made a single change to the web service itself
and suddenly it won't bind again. Undoing the change does not help.
I found numerous references to a tool called fuslogvw.exe, but I do
not have that tool and cannot find anywhere to download it. I'm
running .Net 2003 and this failure happens on the development machine
as well as on the deployment machine (Win2k PRO and Win2k Server).

Also see my comments after the paste below..

Thanks, Russ

determine why the assembly 'PayrollEntryService' could not be loaded.

Please explain what the above mean. Are the "policy not applied at
this time" messages errors? If so, how to correct? When it says
"Attempting to load..." but there is no message saying something like
"loaded ok", does that mean that all the above loads failed?

I don't think the problem is due to files in the wrong directories
because nothing in that regard has changed.

Thanks for any help - Russ

Ok, finally solved the problem. One of the DLL's was not up to date.
I hate to be critical but it does seem that the error messages could
be more informative.

Thanks anyway, Russ
