Hello,

I installed the Guidance automation extensions (july 2007 CTP) and the Service Factory - Modeling Edition (VS2005) on my Visual Studio 2005 system.

When I try to load / execute the package, I get the following error:

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ActionExecutionException: An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe BindingRecipe. Error was: Action CreateASMXServiceRef failed to execute:
Unexpected error loading template file name C:\Program Files\Microsoft Service Factory V3\Guidance Package\Templates\Projects\ASMX.vstemplate. Make sure that the template is well formed and try again..
You can remove the reference to this recipe through the Guidance Package Manager. ---> Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.RecipeFrameworkException: Unexpected error loading template file name C:\Program Files\Microsoft Service Factory V3\Guidance Package\Templates\Projects\ASMX.vstemplate. Make sure that the template is well formed and try again. ---> System.ArgumentException: The template does not have the correct WizardExtension data.

Investigating this problem further, I have remarked that the Guidance automation extensions installer added an assembly binding redirect statement for the Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio assembly (versions 1.0.51206.0-1.2.0.0) to the 1.3.0.0 version.

However, the fusion log says:

*** Assembly Binder Log Entry  (14-02-2008 @ 11:51:55) ***

The operation failed.
Bind result: hr = 0x80131040. No description available.

So, I guess there is a problem with the binding redirect? What is happening here?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I've found the reason. Apparantly, an installer of another product (IBM DB2 client) added an assemblyBinding section the the machine.config of .NET 2.0. This first section has an appliesTo attribute with value "v1.1.4322" set (which makes absolutly no sense, since this file is only used by .NET 2.0 and above). The GAX installer adds its redirects to the first assemblyBinding section found, and it's thus not used in .NET 2.0.

NOTE: Also mscorcfg.msc lists only the first assemblyBinding section it finds without looking at the appliesTo attribute, other redirects are not shown!

Hi

I am also facing the same problem could you suggest some solution

I am sending below exception

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].
