Hi Jack,
From your description, I understand you've developed an windows service
through Visual Studio, the windows service application reference some other
c++ dll and .net class library assemblies(some of which are strong-named).
However, you found that the setup program of the windows service project
will fail(when executing the service's installer custom action class),
correct?
According to the solution structure and assembly settings, I have performed
some test on my local side. Here is my test steps:
1.Create a VS 2005 windows service project (add a installer class)
2. Create two class library(c#) projects in the same solution and reference
them in the main windows service project
3. use a keyfile to strong-name of of the class library project
4. add a setup project (reference to windows service project's primary
output)
However, when launching the setup package, the windows service can be
correctly deployed, with the referenced class library(strong-named and
private ones) copied. Therefore, I think the problem should be specific to
something else of your solution. Is there any particular type referencing
scenario in your solution?
BTW, for general assembly loading/binding troubleshooting, you can use the
"fuslogvw.exe" utility to track how the runtime locating and binding the
assembly:
#Assembly Binding Log Viewer (Fuslogvw.exe)
