I have the x64 version of the Visual C++ Redistributable installed. I am using IIS 7.5 on Windows 7 x64.
Here is the load trace:
Assembly manager loaded from: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\clr.dll
Running under executable c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\w3wp.exe
--- A detailed error log follows.
=== Pre-bind state information ===
LOG: User = NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
LOG: DisplayName = AssetTracker
(Partial)
WRN: Partial binding information was supplied for an assembly:
WRN: Assembly Name: AssetTracker | Domain ID: 3
WRN: A partial bind occurs when only part of the assembly display name is provided.
WRN: This might result in the binder loading an incorrect assembly.
WRN: It is recommended to provide a fully specified textual identity for the assembly,
WRN: that consists of the simple name, version, culture, and public key token.
WRN: See whitepaper http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=109270 for more information and common solutions to this issue.
