Hello All,

I have developed an application with .Net Framework 3.5.
In this application, i am using System.Xml.Linq.
Everything is working fine at my machine.
But my client has (ONLY) .Net framework 4.0 installed on his machine, and when he is trying to run application, an error is coming as "could not load file or assembly System.xml.linq version=3.5.0.0".

Do i need to add System.Xml.Linq assembly into GAC on client's machine?
If yes, is System.Xml.Linq is a shared assembly or private assembly?

Can anybody tell me how can i make my application run on my client's machine which has ONLY .Net Framework 4.0 installed and my application built in .Net Framework 3.5.

<--update-->

My client don't have Visual Studio installed, so i can't run gacutil command there.
Can anybody tell me how can i run gacutil without Visual Stdio command prompt.
<--update-->

Thanks,
Nagendra.

System.Xml.Linq is a shared assembly and I think it comes with .Net Framework 3.5. So may be you have to install .net framework 3.5. OR you can try after copying this assembly to GAC. This may work

Solution 4

If you want to open Visual Studio command promt without having VS, Then you can try like this. It might work for you.

Step1: First open command prompt using cmd command
2: Now go to "cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC" and you can find a batch file with name "vcvarsall.bat". Type the name and press ENTER.
3. And now you can RUN any .net commands like "SN", "GACUTIL" any thing.

Try once and responde if it is working for you

Hi,
in order to use gacutil your client should install the .NET SDK - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=fe6f2099-b7b4-4f47-a244-c96d69c35dec&displaylang=en[^], it comes with the associated tools.

Solution 1

You have to recompile your solution to .NET 4 Framework to make it work.
Alternative your client has to install .NET 3.5 Framework.

Solution 3

You can force your app to use version 4.0 by adding this to your App.Config file

XML

<configuration>
   <startup>
      <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
   </startup>
</configuration>

Hope this helps
