    Hello,

    I have a question about application deployment.

     

    I have a WCF Service that references Microsoft.Speech library. When i create the service locally I directly reference the Microsoft.Speech assembly (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Speech Platform SDK\Assembly\Microsoft.Speech.dll).

    When I deploy it to a Windows Server IIS and try to connect to it from a client running on my local machine, it fails to find the assembly.

    Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Speech, Version=10.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

     

    My question is, when i create the reference locally on my service, how does it maintain that reference when I deploy it? My Server has the Microsoft Speech Platform Server Runtime (10.x) installed. Does the assembly version need to match exactly? When the service runs does it look in the GAC for the runtime assembly? Should I copy the assembly into my service and reference it from the relative path?

     

    Thanks

    Hello, from .NET perspective, the assembly's major version (the first two 10.1) must match, and the server assembly's minor version (the last two .x.x) must be greater than or equal to the version you used during development. But since speech SDK relies on native components, the problem may also come out if a native component's version dismatch. Anyway, I suggest you to use exactly the same version on server and development machine.
