Question

I am following the tutorial from the book “Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform”. After I load the sample code from MyXamlPad project under Chapter 27 and try to run it, I got an error from the compiler as follows:

Error   1   The "GenerateResource" task failed unexpectedly.
System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'FileTracker.dll': A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007045A)

What should I do to fix this problem? Or I just cannot run the WPF inside VS2010 and have to use the MSBUILD instead.

Thank you

Make sure you have only one v4.0*** folder (you can rename if you don’t wish to delete) in your C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder. That should do the trick.

If you already have only one of these v4.0*** folders you can try editing the Microsoft.Common.targets file within that folder and removing TrackFileAccess=”$(TrackFileAccess)” and TrackerLogDirectory=”$(TrackerLogDirectory)” entries from the GenerateResource node around line 1850.
