This is the strangest programming issue I have seen in a long time.
I am using Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express, C# and .NET 2.0 to develop an application. This application references a couple of dll/assemblies (those dlls are all generated on my machine).
Below is part of the code (it is all basic stuff):
public class PowerManagement
{
[TestCase]
public void PrepareTest(){
// Configure according to pre-conditions
Preconditions precondition = new Preconditions();
precondition.SetupPreconditions();
...
}
[TestCase]
public void PerformTest(){
TestcaseData testcaseData = new TestcaseData();
// Set Trigger and perform check
switch (testcaseData.triggerNumber){
case (1):
if ((new Trigger1(testcaseData)).Validate() != 1)
Report.TestStepFail("failed");
break;
...
case (4):
if ((new Trigger4(testcaseData)).Validate() != 1)
Report.TestStepFail("failed");
break;
default:
Report.TestStepFail("Not yet implemented");
break;
}
}
}
This application is then generated into a dll from Visual C# 2010 Express and used elsewhere and all is fine. The problem surfaces when I add another case to the switch-statement above (see below)
...
case (4):
if ((new Trigger4(testcaseData)).Validate() != 1)
Report.TestStepFail("failed");
break;
case (5):
if ((new Trigger5(testcaseData)).Validate() != 1)
Report.TestStepFail("failed");
break;
default:
Report.TestStepFail("Not yet implemented");
break;
I can still build without a single issue and generate the dll but when I use the generated dll I get the following error:
A .NET exception (InvalidProgramException) occured in the module PowerManagement
Error message: Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program.
Throwing method: PowerManagement.PerformTest
(the issue happens even if I copy case(4) and paste it as a new case, so it has nothing to do with Trigger5-class)
What is happening here? I have looked through the other InvalidProgramException and Common Language Runtime in Stackoverflow but none seemed related.
I know this issue is strange so please let me know and I will provide more information. I am using a 64-bit Windows 8 machine, if that matters. I have already checked for any updates on VS and .NET updates. I havet also regenerated all the dlls a couple of time ans also created the solution from scratch a couple of times.
Just wanted to add my experience for this...
In my case, I am hosting my C# Web API on Azure and I encountered this message when trying to log in to my API.
I had to go into my Azure management portal (portal.azure.com), go to App Services, choose my Web API program and click Restart from the Overview screen.
After this, the program worked as normal again.
Did not find any further clues in my logs.
I finally managed to solve this issue.
I unchecked code optimization in C# Express and that solved the issues. Still the weirdest thing, but since we are using old tools and framework we can not really blame anyone.
Try enabling 32-bit applications in your application pool advanced settings.
I had this problem after upgrading to Visual Studio 2017 v15.8.6. The problem went away when I removed the assemblyPostProcessorType attribute in the compilation tag in web.config.
According to MSDN: "Generally this indicates a bug in the compiler that generated the program."
I would start by making sure you have all the updates installed on Windows, .NET and Visual Studio.
You should also check out Q312544 on Microsoft Support.
I've occasionally encountered this error after a deployment to an Azure WebApp using MSDeploy. The error has always disappeared after redeploying for a second time.
Our build and deployment are two different steps, the the redeployment is sending over the exact same files each time - this suggests the problem is not uniquely a compiler issue as suggested elsewhere in this question's responses.
Could be a bug in MSDeploy, or in the version of IIS used for WebApps in Azure perhaps...
Such problem could be caused by bugs in tools manipulating the IL of assembly after compilation, for example if you are using Fody and its plugins. At least there is a bug in Fody MethodDecorator which causes such effect, see
https://github.com/Fody/MethodDecorator/issues/8
If you are having this issue specific to Azure Web Apps - check for installed extension Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AzureWebSites - or it's friendly name Application Insights extension for Azure App Service and remove it via kudu.
We found this extension was potentially interfering with msdeploy pushes - there was a process snapshotholder_x64.exe running under the IIS w3wp.exe process. Someone likely enabled this extension via the azure portal.
If your issue pertains to a web api dotnetcore deployed to an azure app then this could be caused by application insights. Setting the application insights at the blade level should fix the problem. Also note that there seems to be an unresolved issue with setting it at the blade level as recommended settings vs basic. Basic being the value that works.
Running into this issue deploying a Web Api as an API App on Azure. An initial request to any endpoint would result in the expected response; however, subsequent requests would return the same Common Language Runtime error. I figured out the problem started when I enabled Recommended collection level on the Application Insights blade on my web app. I set recommended and enabled all radio buttons. Reverting this change stopped the error. For reference, the API I am running is running Microsoft.ApplicationInsights 2.8.1
For reference:

I was doing some powershell automation in a console application using .net core 3.0 when i started receiving this error. I guess .net core is not compatible with System.Management.Automation so i changed it to .net framework 4.7, everything worked well after that
I resolved this issue by doing the following:
Rename C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Team Tools\Performance Tools\vsinstr.exe to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Team Tools\Performance Tools\vsinstr.exe.broken
Rename C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Team Tools\Performance Tools\vsinstr.legacy.exe to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Team Tools\Performance Tools\vsinstr.exe
Rebuild the solution
-uncheck "code optimization" (referenced dlls included)
-Upgrade to .net framework 4.6
Out of nowhere we started getting XXX webservice Exception , System.InvalidProgramException: Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program.
Copied compiled website to a different environment - works just fine.
Copied to a different server - works just fine.
I noticed that this exception started when server was reset (either rebooted or app pool reset). When researching this issue, I noticed comment by Brian Reichle on Jun 6 '16 at 12:33
I would expect a bitness mismatch to result in a
BadImageFormatException rather than the InvalidProgramException
described in the question.
I was not familiar with InvalidProgramException exception but I was familiar with BadImageFormatException and the symptom is very similar to the one I get with BadImageFormatException issue. I can't say 100% why either exception happens, current running theory is its a 32-bit application running on a 64-bit machine, but we couldn't prove it nor could we perma-fix it. Enabling 32-bit applications on app pool did not fix the issue.
The only fix we know of, albeit temporary, is to simply recycle App Pool. No need to recompile or anything. Luckily, this happens not too often, maybe once a month or two.
I just ran into this problem myself. Even though VS created the virtual directory for me, it had vb as the default language, but I have a C# application. Changing this setting solved it.
This is an interesting exception that i came across while hosting on IIS. I solved it after finding out that my .NET Framework version on IIS was different from the .NET Framework version that my project was using. Please note if you happen to have other referenced projects/ddl(s) make sure you update their .NET Framework version too.
In my case it was Hasp protection (google: hasp sentinel protection key) SW which ruined the dlls.
To share my experience: had the same issue on x86 computer with my WindowsForms app, found out I've forgotten to copy .exe.config file with all dll redirections, after that everything worked like a charm.
In my case, the exception was caused by datadog tracer after upgrading from 3.1 to NET 6, by upgrading to their latest version, the issue was fixed.
Here is the diff in my dockerfile.
-RUN curl -LO https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-dotnet/releases/download/v1.12.0/datadog-dotnet-apm_1.12.0_amd64.deb
-RUN dpkg -i ./datadog-dotnet-apm_1.12.0_amd64.deb

The deployment of an Azure Statefulservice is failing with the following output:
Service Status:
fabric:/Cloud.Application/MyServiceStateless is ready.
fabric:/Cloud.Application/MyServiceStateful is not ready, 1 partitions remaining.
Something is taking too long, the application is still not ready.
Finished executing script 'Get-ServiceFabricApplicationStatus'
This is strange since no other member of my team has seen this problem. To help diagnose it, I set a breakpoint at Program.Main(), but the breakpoint was not hit. Instead, the message "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. A copy of Program.cs was found in StatelessServiceXYZ.exe, but the current source code is different from the version built into StatelessServiceXYZ.exe" when the mouse is hovered over they whited out breakpoint circle. This indicates the assembly isn't loading.
Because no one else can reproduce this problem even though our environments are seemingly identical (we're all using Visual Studio 2017, Microsoft Azure ServiceFabric CoreSDK, .Net Frameword 4.5, and Windows 7), it appears there is some configuration difference or problem with my machine. The other solutions to this problem that I've found online, such as lack of disk space, etc., are not applicable to my situation. I've also tried resetting the local cluster to no avail. Deploying a test StatefulService also worked.
I find a similar issue in the github. if updating the netcore runtime is acceptable, you could have a try to update projects to the 2.0.3 runtime service.
Alright, so I've got a Windows service that has a FileSystemWatcher that watches an output folder for some Visual FoxPro database files. And it leverages the VFPOLEDB.1 provider to read those files. I cannot go away from this provider because it's being used in production.
However, I've never had to support this application before so that's why my development box isn't setup for it. Here is my environment:
Windows 7 x64
Visual Studio 2005
.NET 2.0 Windows service
so, when I first started getting the error I figured I just didn't have the provider at all, and I was right. So, I downloaded and installed it from here.
I then proceeded to drop the files in the folder again, but I got the same error.
I figured because it's an x64 machine I might be experiencing problems with it getting registered since it was probably dropped into SysWOW64, and it was as I expected, so I ran this command:
regsvr32 "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mscomct2.ocx"
and it said it was successfully registered (which means about nothing LOL) but I dropped the files in again - same error.
I have not yet rebooted my machine, and I can if somebody has a compelling reason that's the problem, but generally speaking if the assembly is registered properly with regsvr32 that's not necessary. I've worked with a ton of COM objects and never have to reboot to get to the object as long as I've registered it.
Does anybody know another step I need to perform to get this thing registered?
It is registered as it should. It is your application that is compiled for AnyCPU Platform.
In x64 operating system this produces 64bit code and 64bit code could not access 32bit drivers.
Change your Platform to x86 and you will be fine.
EDIT
Two years later there is something to add to this answer. Now with Visual Studio 2013 the cheese has been moved. The article linked explain in great details how the compiler setup defaults has been changed. The AnyCPU target CPU with Prefer 32 bit means that your application works as 32bit app also in x64bit operating systems leaving practically no-room to x64 application unless specifically required.
With this new configuration becomes also important to remember what is posted in comments below by Mark Berry. If your (now 32bit) app needs to work in a IIS 64bit environment you need to set the Application Pool with Enable 32 bit Applications
I have desktop app (Win7 x64 VS 2015) - and kept getting the same error no matter what. I changed platform target to x86, installed MSI as admin etc - did everything I could google - and no luck. What helped me is to install MSI for Everyone instead of Just me - one of the last wizard's screen in the setup.
I have the same problem.
I install the VFP Ole DB Provider in my system and resolved.

I've designed a WPF C# application using Visual Studio 2012. The application, which is simple enough, runs fine on my Windows 8 machine using the ClickOnce deployment method. The datagrid displays the content from a SQL Server database and performs all of it's other functions just as I've designed it to, but when I attempt to install it on a Windows 7 machine it immediately crashes and I'm not sure why. The Windows 7 computer I'm trying to install the application on has .NET 4.5 running on it, but is there anything else that computer needs to have installed on it in order to run applications developed with VS 2012. This is my first attempt to install an application developed with VS 2012 on a Windows 7 machine, so I'm not sure if there's another step that I'm missing here. Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The message you stated "The application has stopped working and that if Microsoft has a solution..." is an indicator of one of the following:
The Framework is disabled; though 4.5 is installed several root instances are built on the foundation which are apart of Framework 2.0. This particular Framework can cause issues for 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and even 4.5.
The System.EnterpriseServices.dll is damaged in the Framework. Which needs to be connected back to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).
And another common issue is the machine.config file log in the Framework Folder can be corrupt and needs to be replaced with a valid one.
There are others that can occur within the System Policy Folder as well, which may require you to use the .Net Cleanup Tool and reinstall the Framework. But before you do any troubleshooting you should go to the Event Viewer and get details of what is going on.
Try these steps first for me:
Windows Key + R
When the run prompt appears type: appwiz.cpl
Go to the left hand side: Turn Windows Features On or Off
Turn Framework 3.5 on if it isn't already; if it is already on go to Step 5.
Turn off the Framework; then reboot.
Once rebooted follow steps 1-4 again.
Now at this point I would suggest trying the application again. If it fails try this:
Open Start
Type 'cmd' in Search
Right Click and Run as an Administrator
Type %windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngen.exe update
Then type: sfc /scannow
The Native Regeneration tool will try to repair the Framework back to a factory state; the System-File-Checker will attempt to fix any errors indicated in Windows. If it can't it will say 'it found integrity violations'.
Those are the steps I would do for general support; but you really should try and locate an error message. As the Framework can become a huge ordeal to cleanup and fix. If you provide more information I will revise my response to help address it.
Hopefully that helps.
I have an error very similar to the one addressed in this question. I am trying to deploy a small c#/Xaml utility on 6 work machines. 4 of the machines run the utility successfully and 2 do not. All machines are windows XP and have .Net frameworks 1-4 installed (my app is compiled against 4.0 and all machines have both client and extended redistributables installed).
On running the utility, I get the standard "... has encountered a problem and needs to close." On viewing the error report contents, the problem seems to occur in System.Windows.Markup.XamlParse.
I have run .Net 4.0 online installer in "repair" mode and still I get the same problem. I have tried all the suggestions from the post linked above:
The file is deployed alongside a DLL which is present and correct.
UI cultures are identical.
All computers are up to date from Microsoft Update.
The assembly does not contain any external resources which are referenced in XAML.
I don't really know where to start with debugging this one. Any suggestions?
I would suggest setting up remote debugging on the machines that are having the problem and then adding this to the startup code:
while (!System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
{
Thread.Sleep(100);
}
I have a relatively simple ASP.NET application that I am trying to create an installer for. I am currently using Visual Studio 2008's "Web Setup Project" which, though I'm told is not ideal, has proved no problems when installing on Windows Server 2003 & IIS6.
IIS7 on Server 2008 and Vista has proved substantially more difficult. The installer starts off fine before halting with an unhelpful "The installer was interrupted before could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again." UAC is switched off, and I've already ensured I'm executing the installer with administritive privledges.
The problem sounds identical to the issue outlined in this blog post, however I have the IIS6 Metabase Compatibility role service installed already. I've also tried playing around with AppPools, the Integrated/Classic pipelines and so on, all to no avail.
I've since turned on MSI logging and, whilst I found nothing concrete, I believe the rollback begins somewhere around this error message.
The error indicates that IIS is in 64 bit mode, while this application is a 32 bit application and thus not compatible.
This doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever, as both Vista and Server 2008 are 32-bit installations. I suspect it's a red herring, but I can't be sure.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem, and if so, is there a solution that doesn't involve me moving to a different installation framework?
Try putting a friendly lil checkmark beside each node in
[Programs and Features // Turn Windows features on or off // Internet Information Services // Web Management Tools // IIS 6 Management Compatibility]
Note that I had the same symptoms posted in the blog though, and this fixed it for me. Yours may be different.
Just tackled this last night, therefore my sincerest good luck to you.
In order to fix that error message for those using Windows 2003 x64, use the following commands from a cmd prompt:
cscript.exe %SystemDrive%\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 "true"
cd WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
aspnet_regiis.exe -i

How to Run a Microsoft .NET 2.0 or higher Web Application in 32-bit Mode in IIS 6.0 on a 64-bit Server
Note:
By doing the first step, you will now notice that the ASP.net tab is no longer visible.
This is a known bug and the work around is too use scripts to change the .Net version for any running sites.
