 |
|
Hi,
I'm trying to use SmartAssembly from within targets called by the 64-bit version of MSBuild. The assembly to be processed by SmartAssembly is compiled as x86.
I get the following error in the MSBuild log:
| Code: |

It appears that SmartAssembly is being called in-proc and inheriting the 64-bit-ness of MSBuild, and then failing due to a dependency on an 32-bit component (i.e. JET).
Building the same project using 32-bit MSBuild or using Visual Studio succeeds.
Regards,
Martin |

Hi Martin,
Sorry to say the only thing you can do about this is to move SmartAssembly's database to SQL Server. There is no 64-bit API for Jet (Access) databases.

| Ah - I must have something misconfigured somewhere, as SmartAssembly should be pointing at our in-house SQL server database. |

Indeed, I had forgotten to configure SmartAssembly with our custom SQL database name and web service URL when I installed it onto a different build server. User error :)
It might be worth wrapping the exception in a future version of SmartAssembly so an error such as "MDB databases cannot be used calling SmartAssembly from a 64-bit MSBuild process." is printed to the MSBuild log. I'd have probably found the configuration issue a lot quicker if that had been the case, as the message lead me to believe it was a SmartAssembly bug.
Regards,
Martin |

|
|
Hi,
I am trying to run a TFS build using SmartAssembly and my Build Server is 64 bit. I cannot change the target platform of the Solution because my projects rely on it being set to 64 bit. I have the Standard Edition of SmartAssembly, so I cannot switch to from Access to SQL Server.
Help! What are my options here??
Thanks,
Larry |
