I have a small application that uses the same API as the powerscript examples

  • 0

I have a small application that uses the same API as the powerscript examples for upgrading a database from a dacpac (data-tier application).

To get it working on a Windows 2008 server without any SQL Server tools installed I had to refernce a lot of dlls and choose “Copy Local” on those dlls to get them into my compile folder. This works fine.

I now want to call the same API from a worker role on Azure. But when I run it (with same dlls) I get

“System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly
‘Microsoft.SqlServer.BatchParser.dll’ or one of its dependencies. The
application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration
is incorrect. Please see the application event log”

It works fine when I deploy to local emulator.

I haven’t yet been able to get anything meaningful from the logs (not sure if I have my diagnostics right).

The file mentioned is in the published package. I have found 2 versions of teh file but the other version is 32 bit and I (understandably) get a BadFormat exception if I try it.

Here are the dlls I’m referencing:

    I think I have cracked this. I enabled remote access to the VM which meant I had access to the application events. After running my worker role I got an error in the event viewer saying that it couldn’t find microsoft.vc80.crt.

    I didn’t find a dll by that name but I found 

    microsoft.vc80.crt.manifest

    in this folder: 

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Update Cache\KB2528583\ServicePack\x64

    It points to 3 other dlls which I also included:

    msvcr80.dll
msvcp80.dll
msvcm80.dll

    I have only run the upgrade once so far, but hopefully this is done now. If I find/fix any more problems I will update here.

    Hope this helps someone.
