system.enterpriseservices.dll error

I am running a web app on w2k3/IIS 6.0/ASP.net 2.0. This app runs fine on a different server. The error message I get is

Compiler Error Message:CS0006: Metadata file 'C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_32\System.EnterpriseServices\2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\System.EnterpriseServices.dll' could not be found

I have seen solutions to remove the "<identity impersonate="true" />" setting from the web.config file. That has not been helpful. Another solution was to delete the system.enterpriseservices.dll from C:\Windows\assembly. I have deleted the file, copied a new .dll, and that did not work. I have reinstalled IIS and ASP.Net 2.0 as well. So far, no dice. Any other ideas are greatly welcomed!

Hello AJ,

This may be a dumb question, but is the assembly in the GAC on the deployment server? If it isn't, you should be able to add it by running "gacutil /if System.EnterpriseServices.dll" using the 2.0 version of gacutil.exe.

HTH,

Clay,

Thanks for the response. I just got the problem figured out today.

The file permissions were screwed up. Users did not have read and execute permissions to this folder:
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_System.EnterpriseServices_b03f5f7f11d50a3a_2.0.0.0_x-ww_7d5f3790

After I fixed that I got a similar error message as before but it mentioned a system.enterpriseServices.Wrapper.dll and found out that this file was missing
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_System.EnterpriseServices_b03f5f7f11d50a3a_2.0.0.0_x-ww_7d5f3790\System.EnterpriseServices.Wrapper.dll

Now it is running like a champ!

System.Threading.ThreadAbortException and Response.Redirect

I have an ASP.net 2.0 app on a W2K3 box. I am using Response.Redirect inside page_load. After reading a bunch of posts, I've tried setting the second arg to false, but still get the error. I've also tried moving the redirect outside the try block. No love. I catch and ignore the error, but the redirect doesn't redirect to the new url.

All worked fine until this started happening out of the blue.

Thanks.

I assume you meant to post your code... but you forgot. Can you post your problem code please?

oops. Sorry.

If Request.QueryString("testnum") Is Nothing Then
Response.Redirect("http://localhost:10607/WWW/testing.aspx?testnum=1.11-.01-C1-T1&ucid=0")

End if

Have you tried using a relative URL, instead of an absolute URL?

The thing is, the built in web server in Visual Studio (Cassini) uses dynamic port assignment. Therefore, there is no guarantee (in fact no likelihood at all) that the port used will be the same every time.

Try a URL of"~/testing.aspx?testnum=1.11-.01-C1-T1&ucid=0"
