Answer 2

Hi Raboosh,

 

Thanks for your post.

It might be a platform target issue and this application is 32bit runs in a x64 OS.

If so, could you please try to force the app to run in WoW64 you can go to the project properties in VS, right click project node->properties, select the "build" tab, and set the "platform target" to x86.

If it doesn't work, be free to let me know.

 

Best Regards,

Ziwei Chen

I was getting this error message on my deployment project whilst everything was ok in debug mode.

I spent half a day reading up on it.

For me as it turned out I had a Resource directory in my project that was empty.

I excluded it from the project and the error went away.

Really hope that helps someone somewhere along the line.
