Install Instructions

Common Error #1
The Chilkat .NET assembly is a mixed-mode assembly. It provides a managed API, but the inner core contains native code. A process must load the correct assembly at runtime. A 32-bit process must load the 32-bit ChilkatDotNet45.dll, and a 64-bit process must load the 64-bit ChilkatDotNet45.dll. When a process tries to load the incorrect format, the following error will occur:
Could not load file or assembly 'ChilkatDotNet45' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
See Incorrect Format for more information.
Common Error #2
The Chilkat .NET 4.5 assembly requires the VC++ 2012 or 2013 runtime to be installed on any computer where your application runs. Most computers will already have it installed. Your development computer will have it because Visual Studio has been installed. However, if deploying to a computer where the required VC++ runtime is not available, the following error will occur:
Could not load file or assembly 'ChilkatDotNet45.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.
See Could not load assembly ChilkatDotNet*.dll or one of its dependencies for more information.
Also see Could not load assembly ChilkatDotNet45.dll or one of its dependencies for more information.
