I have delphi application (hostproject.exe) and I want to consume .net com objects (NetSide.dll) with register free tech.

When application start, shows Side by Side Configuration error and sxtrace log :

Cannot resolve reference mscorlib, publicKeyToken="b77a5c561934e089", version="4.0.0.0".

Answer 1

Remove your dependency on mscorlib from NetSide.sxs, and the processorArchitecture:

<!-- We depend on the assembly NetSide.sxs -->
<dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity type="win32" 
            name="NetSide.sxs" 
            version="1.0.0.0" 
            language="*"/>
    </dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
