I'm experimenting with EntLib6 and Visual Studio 2013.

My machine is Windows 7 64 bit, VS2013 Update 2. Which file is it referring to and how do I get past this error?

Answer 1

Search for these dll's and see if they are in the folder with Entlibconfig.exe. It looks like Microsoft.Practices.Unity.dll is the problem most of the time. At least it has been a problem for me in the past.

Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Design.HostAdapterV5.dll Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.DesignTime.dll Microsoft.Practices.Unity.dll

Answer 2

Check to have following files. These make possible to load the console and use Logging Application Block with Database Trace Listener.

• EntLibConfig.exe EntLibConfig.exe.config
• Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll
• Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Design.HostAdapter.dll
• Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Design.HostAdapterV5.dll
• Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.DesignTime.dll
• Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.EnvironmentalOverrides.dll
• Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.dll
• Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Database.dll
• Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll
• Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation.dll
• Microsoft.Practices.Unity.dll
• Microsoft.Practices.Unity.Interception.dll
