Powershell - Assembly binding redirect NOT found in application configuration file

Question

Got a problem here...

I have got a Powershell CmdLet that works when running in 32-bit mode and fails in 64-bit mode. Question is what the cause is and how it can

Answer 1

Not 100% related to 32/64-bit issue, however if someone is interested in working assembly redirect solution please have a look here Powershell config assembly redirect.

You can do custom assembly redirect using PowerShell code like

$FSharpCore = [reflection.assembly]::LoadFrom($PSScriptRoot + "\bin\LIBRARY\FSharp.Core.dll") 

$OnAssemblyResolve = [System.ResolveEventHandler] {
  param($sender, $e)

  # from:FSharp.Core, Version=4.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a
  # to:  FSharp.Core, Version=4.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a
  if ($e.Name -eq "FSharp.Core, Version=4.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a") { return $FSharpCore }

  foreach($a in [System.AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies())
  {
    if ($a.FullName -eq $e.Name)
    {
      return $a
    }
  }
  return $null
}

[System.AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.add_AssemblyResolve($OnAssemblyResolve)

I am first loading the correct version of FSharp.Core from somewhere as the version in the GAC is old (I guess this might be your case too)
