Required file 'alink.dll with IAlink3'

Question

I was trying to build a C# solution on my Visual Studio 2008, that is running on a Windows Vista machine, but when I try to build it I'm getting this error:

Required file 'alink.dll with IAlink3' could not be found Amigo X

"Amigo X" is the name of the solution. What is wrong?

PS: Amigo X is a party that we have here in Brazil at the christmas, it's at the time to gave presents to your family. ;)

Answer 1

You are using a C# 3.0 compiler on a machine which does not have CLR 2.0 SP1 installed. Try manually installing 2.0 SP1 and seeing if that fixes the problem.

Answer 2

This is a simple problem and there is an easy fix.

  1. Open project properties.
  2. In the Application tab, find the Manifest dropdown. choose the option 'Create application without a manifest'
  3. Run the application successfully.
