Method not found: 'System.Type System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetTypeFromCLSID(System.Guid)'

Question

I spent a good deal of time writing this program on my dev box, after moving it to our production boxes I get the error below. Just an FYI I don't have any control over what is installed and what can be installed, how can I make this work? Under both framework on both computers we have v1.0.3705, v1.1.4322, v2.0.50727, v3.0, v3.5, 4.0.30319. Also the program I used to create the app is Visual Studio 2013 Pro.

Thanks

See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Answer 1

it seems to me as a .NET Framework compatibility issue.

Problem : you have developed your application in your local machine with heigher version of .NET Framework and running the same on remote pc having Lower Version of.NET Framework.

Note : if you target your application to run on Heigher Version of .NET Framework it wont run on lower versions.

Solution : you need to target it to .NET Framework Lower Version available on your remote PC to run on remote pc.

Step 1: right click on project - select properties

Step 2: change the Target Framework from .NET Framework x.x to .NET Framework x.y.

Note : where x.x is heigher and x.y is lower version available on remote pc or any lower version.
