Pdb2Pdb.exe failed with -532462766

[forki]

local build on master (31a98b9) after git clean -xdf with build.cmd debug:

[forki]

calling it manuall and we see netstandard can't be found:

[abelbraaksma]

I linked issue #6182, not sure it's related as that was not a .NET Standard project, but this remarkably unique error number is the same.

Also, in the referred issue, the problem went away after compiling a second time. Was that the case here too?

[cartermp]

@tmat any ideas about this error? I haven't seen it myself

[tmat]

No idea :(

[cartermp]

I just tried with both master and dev16.0 and it doesn't reproduce😕

[forki]

No it does only reproduce in one of my machines. The other one is fine Am Mo., 11. Feb. 2019, 23:45 hat Phillip Carter <notifications@github.com> geschrieben:

I just tried with dev16.0 branch and it doesn't reproduce on master either 😕 — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

@forki for the machine that repros the issue, what version of VS is installed.

And can you attach the fsharp.proj.build.binlog from the artifacts\logs\debug directory please

Thanks

[forki]

sure.

15.9.6

fsharp.proj.build.zip

@forki, it would seem as if the runtime can't find netstandard.dll
When running this command:

"C:\Users\Steffen\.nuget\packages\Pdb2Pdb\1.1.0-beta1-63314-01\tools\Pdb2Pdb.exe" "d:\code\visualfsharp\artifacts\bin\FSharp.Core\Debug\net45\FSharp.Core.dll" /out "d:\code\visualfsharp\artifacts\SymStore\net45\FSharp.Core.pdb" /srcsvrvar SRC_INDEX=public

Gives this message:

Unbehandelte Ausnahme: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Die Datei oder Assembly "netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51" oder eine Abhängigkeit davon wurde nicht gefunden. Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.

On my machine it locates it from the GAC:

I suppose the install of the desktop framework might have gone wrong:

To see what versions of netstandard you have in the GAC:

type:
gacutil -l netstandard

Microsoft (R) .NET Global Assembly Cache Utility.  Version 4.0.30319.0
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

The Global Assembly Cache contains the following assemblies:
  netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51, processorArchitecture=MSIL

Number of items = 1

c:\microsoft\visualfsharp\fcs>

[forki]

but why would I habe that? and why does it need it in GAC?

[KevinRansom]

@forki, I have no idea .. to both questions. netstandard.dll is deployed with the desktop dotnet framework into the framework directory, and I believe should load from there.

What version of the desktop framework is installed on your machine:
I am using 4.7.2

[forki]

ok it looks like I don't have 4.7.2 and I can't install it (because WIndows!) - anyway DEVGUIDE only lists 4.6 as requirement.

[cartermp]

Ergh, looks like we'll need to update that. Although the projects themselves don't require it in master, it looks like we do actually have a dependency on net472, since we're now working with netstandard2.0 components. I'll update it.

@forki You should be able to install it from the VS installer as a redistributable. I believe it will cause a reboot if you're on an older version of Windows though.

[abelbraaksma]

Glad you found the cause :). Can we conclude that exit code 532462766 means a missing assembly? And if so, is there any way the message can be improved (text instead of number)?

Considering that my linked situation had this error only once it might have been a temp disk failure, hiccup or network interrupt.

[forki]

No unfortunately I can't install net472 because I can't update win10, because reasons. But it's OK now I know and can just continue to use my laptop instead. Am Mo., 18. Feb. 2019, 20:46 hat Abel Braaksma <notifications@github.com> geschrieben:

[cartermp]

@forki Have you had the chance to work on a machine with net472? If so, does this reproduce?

[cartermp]

@forki Any update? I was unable to reproduce with net472 on my machine

[forki]

I think I'll reopen if I see it again. Thanks

[abelbraaksma]

While this issue was closed, it still happens. I have reported in the still open connected issue though, that is: #6182.
