Demo IceStorm error

[chang]

Hi All
I am new and try to run demo on my local box. I use C# demo of IceStrom. The box is Win7. Ice version is 3.4.2

The error message are :

I started demo following the instruction in Readme.txt

In cmd window 1:
icebox --Ice.Config=config.icebox

In cmd window 2: (I also tried subscriber tick, errer message is from tick )
subscriber time

In cmd window 3: (I also tried publisher tick)
publisher time

Hi Shen,

Looking at the error you posted seems you are not using the right assemblies, you should use assemblies from Ice-3.4.2\bin directory, not in Ice-3.4.2\bin\cf (CF is for .NET Compact Framework).

If you build the demo from command line, review cs/config/Make.rules.mak.cs and ensure that the line with COMPACT = yes is commented out. But is easier to build the demos from Visual Studio, for that you must first install Ice-3.4.2 binary distribution if you have not done yet.

[chang]

Hi,
I load the project without change any setting. I looked at the reference, it shows all from
\ice-3.4.2\bin
When I goto Ice configuration, and check/uncheck the refernce for ice or icestorm, they added reference to ice-3.4.2\bin\ice.dll and icestorm.dll

[xdm]

Hi Shen,

The problem seems to happen because the Ice.dll in the demo dir is override by the one in bin\cf. I can reproduce this if i build the demo, then copy bin\cf\Ice.dll to the demo directory and then when run i get the same error you posted.

Can you manually copy the Ice.dll from Ice-3.4.2\bin\Ice.dll to the demo directory and try again.

Have you try to rebuild the demos? If the error still persist after rebuild can you post the output of the Build in Visual Studio, should be something like:

here you see the Ice.dll is reference from Ice-3.4.2\bin and also copied from the same directory.

[chang]

Same. when I manually copied ice.dll and icestorm.dll to demo folder. Got same result.

I also repaired the install. Got the same.

I also copied every thing in bin and bin\vc100\x64 to local, got the same.


Here is my Path

I went to CPP demo. let publisher run from cs demo and subscriber run from cpp demo. works.

in cpp demo folder, there is not dlls so I think it uses the dll in the search path
in cs flder, I delete all dlls.
when I run it says:

!! 2/8/2012 15:26:54:368 publisher.exe: error: unknown exception:

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

[chang]

problem solved.
I install Ice.dl, icestorm.dll into GAC. so now for cs demo, it will always use gac first and it works.
I have no idea which one before it was used. All the path and link pointing to the correct one.
anyway. it works now both for cpp and cs demo

[xdm]

glad it worked

in cs flder, I delete all dlls.
when I run it says:

Seems to me that you have previously installed cf\Ice.dll into GAC, because Ice.dll was still found when you remove it from the application folder, and the exception stack shows cf\src that means was using Ice.dll for .NET compact framework.

.NET look first in GAC and then in to current folder, so if Ice.dll was not in current folder it was in GAC.

What if you remove Ice.dll and IceStorm.dll from GAC and rebuild cs demos, does it work?
