Could not load file or assembly. Invalid pointer (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004003 (E_POINTER))

Question

I have rebuilt my solution and got the following compilation error:

Error 9 'Could not load file or assembly 'ComponentArt.Web.UI, Version=2009.1.1819.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9bc9f846553156bb' or one of its dependencies. Invalid pointer (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004003 (E_POINTER))' D:..\MyProj.Account\LC

The dll is in infra folder and is moved finaly to the bin folder of the output project (web-site).

Any productive ideas? what else should I check? It seems all other projects in this sln compiles.

Unless I get this error to soon. btw, what's LC (under "project" column) ?

Answer 1

I would check your licenses.licx file and ensure the version specified in there matches exactly with the DLL you are referencing.

We often remove everything after the version in this file due to similar problems.

And LC usually refers to the license compiler, lc.exe.
