NOTE: The SP1 update caused most everybody trouble with deployment. Chilkat has reverted back to using the non-SP1 runtime, and this is now available as v8.1.2 at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/downloads.asp.
Ignore the remainder of this post…
The Chilkat assembly (v8.1.1) for the .NET 2.0 Framework is now compiled with Visual Studio 2005 SP1. (The prior version used Visual Studio 2005, but not SP1).
If you get this error:
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly ‘ChilkatDotNet2, Version=8.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=eb5fc1fc52ef09bd’ or one of its dependencies. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×800736B1)
