Anyone know if it is still possible to obtain the Feb07 release of GAX? I'm having trouble installing SCSF with the July07 release of GAX. I've asked for help on the Codeplex SCSF discussion list, but have gotten nowhere. Thanks...

Victor, thanks so much for putting me on the right track. Indeed, the binding redirect was there, but my .net 2 machine.config had the following line:

I changed the appliesTo attribute to v2.0.50727 and the SCSFinstall worked like a champ.

Hi,

I am getting the same issue as BenH on : http://www.codeplex.com/smartclient/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=14010

I have added in the following "appliesTo="v2.0.50727"" which was missing as follows :

Still no joy!

The Assembly Binding Log Viewer outputs as follows :

*** Assembly Binder Log Entry (17/01/2008 @ 19:14:37) ***

The operation failed.
Bind result: hr = 0x80070002. The system cannot find the file specified.

Any other idea (or was there something implicit that I was missing?)

Thanks in advance

Can you post how the redirect elements look like in your machine?

Thank you for your swift reply. I don't think I mentioned that I am getting this on trying to install SCSF.

Sorry to post the whole machine.config (have removed thesome sections - let me know if I have taken out a relevant section!) from : C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG but I don't want to miss anything.

 Please refer to machine.config.comments for a description and the default values of each configuration section. For a full documentation of the schema please refer to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=42127 To improve performance, machine.config should contain only those settings that differ from their defaults.
