Hello,

&nbsp;

I&nbsp;am&nbsp;trying&nbsp;to&nbsp;make&nbsp;a&nbsp;sample&nbsp;application&nbsp;using&nbsp;your&nbsp;wpf&nbsp;desktop&nbsp;edition.

I&nbsp;am&nbsp;working&nbsp;on&nbsp;windows&nbsp;7&nbsp;x64.

when&nbsp;i&nbsp;am&nbsp;running&nbsp;the&nbsp;demo,&nbsp;an&nbsp;error&nbsp;is&nbsp;occuring:&nbsp;Could&nbsp;not&nbsp;find&nbsp;assembly&nbsp;MapSuiteGeoRasterx86

The&nbsp;only&nbsp;working&nbsp;way&nbsp;is&nbsp;to&nbsp;put&nbsp;needed&nbsp;assemblies&nbsp;on:&nbsp;"C:\Windows\SysWOW64",&nbsp;

But&nbsp;i&nbsp;need&nbsp;to&nbsp;put&nbsp;those&nbsp;assemblies&nbsp;behind&nbsp;my&nbsp;demo&nbsp;executable&nbsp;file,&nbsp;why&nbsp;it&nbsp;not&nbsp;working?&nbsp;and&nbsp;why&nbsp;i&nbsp;cannot&nbsp;add&nbsp;this&nbsp;dll&nbsp;as&nbsp;a&nbsp;normal&nbsp;reference&nbsp;in&nbsp;my&nbsp;project,&nbsp;knowing&nbsp;that&nbsp;this&nbsp;assembly&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;managed&nbsp;assembly&nbsp;(pure&nbsp;.net)

&nbsp;

Thanks.

Hi&nbsp;Janus,  
Yes,&nbsp;the&nbsp;MapSuiteGeoRasterx86&nbsp;is&nbsp;managed&nbsp;assembly.&nbsp;However,&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;almost&nbsp;just&nbsp;a&nbsp;wrapper&nbsp;that&nbsp;wraps&nbsp;up&nbsp;all&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;unmanaged&nbsp;assemblies.&nbsp;In&nbsp;earlier&nbsp;versions&nbsp;of&nbsp;MapSuiteDesktopEdition,&nbsp;we&nbsp;used&nbsp;project&nbsp;reference&nbsp;to&nbsp;load&nbsp;the&nbsp;managed&nbsp;assembly,&nbsp;but&nbsp;we’ve&nbsp;moved&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;dynamic&nbsp;loading&nbsp;way&nbsp;in&nbsp;MapSuite&nbsp;4.5&nbsp;or&nbsp;later&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;project&nbsp;reference&nbsp;is&nbsp;not&nbsp;working&nbsp;now.  
I’m&nbsp;sorry&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;inconvenience,&nbsp;and&nbsp;since&nbsp;iMapSuiteGeoRasterx86&nbsp;is&nbsp;the&nbsp;only&nbsp;assembly&nbsp;required&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;exist&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;sysWOW64&nbsp;folder,&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;put&nbsp;other&nbsp;assemblies&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;folder&nbsp;where&nbsp;your&nbsp;application&nbsp;is&nbsp;running.  
Thanks.  
James

Thanks&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;response.

&nbsp;

Are&nbsp;you&nbsp;going&nbsp;to&nbsp;repair&nbsp;this&nbsp;issue?&nbsp;(allowing&nbsp;the&nbsp;assembly&nbsp;MapSuiteGeoRasterx86&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;put&nbsp;beside&nbsp;the&nbsp;executable)

Because&nbsp;i&nbsp;am&nbsp;working&nbsp;in&nbsp;some&nbsp;dynamic&nbsp;applications&nbsp;(i&nbsp;dont&nbsp;prefer&nbsp;making&nbsp;many&nbsp;deployement&nbsp;steps&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;client&nbsp;side)

Thanks

Hi&nbsp;Janus  
I’m&nbsp;sorry&nbsp;to&nbsp;say&nbsp;that&nbsp;we&nbsp;do&nbsp;not&nbsp;consider&nbsp;it&nbsp;a&nbsp;bug&nbsp;and&nbsp;we’re&nbsp;not&nbsp;going&nbsp;to&nbsp;fix&nbsp;it&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;moment.&nbsp;But&nbsp;we’ve&nbsp;added&nbsp;it&nbsp;to&nbsp;an&nbsp;issue&nbsp;list&nbsp;for&nbsp;our&nbsp;development&nbsp;team,&nbsp;and&nbsp;we’re&nbsp;going&nbsp;to&nbsp;have&nbsp;this&nbsp;issue&nbsp;fixed&nbsp;in&nbsp;future,&nbsp;perhaps&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;next&nbsp;public&nbsp;release&nbsp;version.  
Sorry&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;inconvenience,&nbsp;we’ll&nbsp;let&nbsp;you&nbsp;know&nbsp;as&nbsp;soon&nbsp;as&nbsp;the&nbsp;issue&nbsp;is&nbsp;fixed.  
Thank&nbsp;you&nbsp;very&nbsp;much.  
James

Hi&nbsp;Rajkumar,&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;The&nbsp;MapSuiteGeoRasterX86.dll&nbsp;should&nbsp;be&nbsp;copied&nbsp;over&nbsp;to&nbsp;Windows\System32&nbsp;folder&nbsp;automatically&nbsp;when&nbsp;you&nbsp;install&nbsp;the&nbsp;product.&nbsp;Could&nbsp;you&nbsp;please&nbsp;double&nbsp;check&nbsp;it?&nbsp;If&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;not,&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;find&nbsp;that&nbsp;DLL&nbsp;in&nbsp;\Program&nbsp;Files\ThinkGeo\Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;Wpf&nbsp;Desktop&nbsp;Full&nbsp;Edition&nbsp;5.0\Developer&nbsp;Reference\System32\System32\Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;5.0,&nbsp;and&nbsp;copy&nbsp;it&nbsp;over&nbsp;to&nbsp;Windows\System32&nbsp;folder.&nbsp;
