Assembly manifest expected (TFS2010 Team Build integration)

description

Hey,
i searched a lot to find a solution for my problem, but cant find any help in the web, so here is my question:
After upgrading StyleCop from Version 4.7.24.0 to 4.7.42.0, StyleCop use a new assembly mssp7en.dll (i think its for the new comment spell check feature). The Spell check is by the way not working on our Team Build, but it works like a charm in our local development systems (where StyleCop is installed locally).

I checked-in all new assemblies to our TFS to our custom assembly folder. But now i get following exception in the windows event logs from our build contoller/agent (its the same virtual machine):

Service "BController" had an exception:
Exception Message: Problem with loading custom assemblies: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Users\<useraccount>\AppData\Local\Temp\BuildController\4\mssp7en.dll" or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest. (type Exception)

Exception Stack Trace: <- empty

As additional info: We are using also the Community TFS Build Extensions for integration of StyleCop in our BuildProcessTemplate.

Any help or link to a solution would be very helpful.

Thx

Its trying to load the spelling dll from somewhere and can't find it. Try copying the spelling dlls into the stylecop binaries folder on the build server.

I am using the TFS 'Version control path to custom assemblies' configuration on the build controller. The system downloads all the files from the repository to 'C:\Users\<useraccount>\AppData\Local\Temp\BuildController\4...'

Filelist:
  • CustomDictionary.en-GB
  • CustomDictionary.en-US
  • CustomDictionary
  • mssp7en.dll
  • mssp7en.lex
  • StyleCop.CSharp.dll
  • StyleCop.CSharp.Rules.dll
  • StyleCop.dll
  • StyleCop.VSPackage.dll
  • TfsBuildExtensions.Activities.*.dll
Additionally to this the StyleCop.CSharp.Rules.resources.dll's stored on following subfolders de-DE, en-GB, fr-FR, pl-PL, pt-BR, ru-RU are present in the C:\Users...\BuildController\4...

Dont know whats going wrong, any idea would be helpful...

I also tried to install the StyleCop package directly to the build agent, but this did not help either.
