New-ServiceFabricApplication : Application type and version not found

Question

I have Visual Studio 2017 and I about to start working with Azure-Service-Fabric (C#).

Just created an Azure Service Fabric application, with stateless service and try to run it. Empty project. No changes on the code-template.

I'm getting this message on the output window:

Creating application...
New-ServiceFabricApplication : Application type and version not found

Fabric\Tools\PSModule\ServiceFabricSDK\Publish-NewServiceFabricApplication.ps1:358 char:9

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CreateApplicationInstanceErrorId,Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Powershell.NewApplication

Finished executing script 'Publish-NewServiceFabricApplication'.
Time elapsed: 00:00:07.4935602

The projects build is passed successfully. Starting to run and then stopped. No other indication to problem except the output window.

What I missing? How to fix?

Answer 1

Found the problem.

Just change the Azure-Service-Project configuration from "Any CPU" to "x64". Now it's working!

(Don't forget to run it in "Administrator" mode)

Publish-NewServiceFabricApplication.ps1 script takes the application type and version from the ApplicationManifest.xml of your service fabric application. Please check if you have this file and if the second line has ApplicationTypeVersion and ApplicationTypeName specified. It should look similar to this:

<ApplicationManifest xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ApplicationTypeName="MyAppType" ApplicationTypeVersion="1.0.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2011/01/fabric">
