I have a dll file compiled with Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
When I am using MakeSfxCA.exe file and passing the dll as one of the parameter to command line it gives me following error message:
D:\SetupManager\test>D:\SetupManager\SetupBuilding\Wix\bin\sdk\makesfxca.exe Fil e2.dll D:\SetupManager\SetupBuilding\Wix\bin\sdk\x86\sfxCA.dll File1.dll CustomA ction.config Searching for custom action entry points in File1.dll Error: System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:/// D:\SetupManager\test\File1.dll' or one of its dependencies. **This assembly is bui lt by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.** File name: 'file:///D:\SetupManager\test\File1.dll' at System.Reflection.Assembly._nLoad(AssemblyName fileName, String codeBase, Evidence assemblySecurity, Assembly locationHint, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boo lean throwOnFileNotFound, Boolean forIntrospection) at System.Reflection.Assembly.nLoad(AssemblyName fileName, String codeBase, E vidence assemblySecurity, Assembly locationHint, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Bool ean throwOnFileNotFound, Boolean forIntrospection) at System.Reflection.Assembly.InternalLoad(AssemblyName assemblyRef, Evidence assemblySecurity, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean forIntrospection) at System.Reflection.Assembly.InternalLoadFrom(String assemblyFile, Evidence securityEvidence, Byte[] hashValue, AssemblyHashAlgorithm hashAlgorithm, Boolean forIntrospection, StackCrawlMark& stackMark) at System.Reflection.Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom(String assemblyFile) at Microsoft.Deployment.Tools.MakeSfxCA.MakeSfxCA.FindEntryPoints(String modu le) at Microsoft.Deployment.Tools.MakeSfxCA.MakeSfxCA.Build(String output, String sfxdll, IList`1 inputs, TextWriter log) at Microsoft.Deployment.Tools.MakeSfxCA.MakeSfxCA.Main(String[] args) === Pre-bind state information === LOG: User = DSDMAIN\Rajesh LOG: Where-ref bind.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I got a similar issue working by adding the following code to the CustomActions.config file and creating a MakeSfxCA.exe.config file next to the MakeSfxCA.exe
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />
</startup>
</configuration>
My issue was slightly different, but it may be useful to other folks. The .config
file has to have the name "CustomAction.config
" in your project. It cannot have the name <YourCAProject>.config
as will happen when you rename the project to give the dll a unique name. It seems the MakeSfxCA
build tool and SfxCA
stub depend upon this file name for now.
