Hi,
since today (today, I noticed it) I get FileLoadException from assembly
Microsoft.Ink, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35.
Errormessage: Strong name validation failed. HRESULT: 0x8013141A

In the last time I have updated VS2005 to SP1 and installed VS2008 90 day
trail.

Maybe anyone can help me?

Regards, Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Could you please provide more details on:
1. Hardware you are running on - Tablet vs. Desktop,
2. OS - VISTA RTM or SP1
3. If it is a Tablet, can you still ink in other applications like Journal?
4. Is this happenning with both VS2005 SP1 and VS2008?
5. Did you rebuild all the dependencies?
6. Do you direcly reference Microsoft.Ink.dll in your project?
7. Do any of the managed Tablet SDK using Microsoft.Ink samples work?
8. Did VS2008 90 day trial version expire by any chance?

You can temporarily disable strong name verification for Microsoft.Ink by
running as a local admin from the command prompt:
For a 32-bit computers:
"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\sn.exe" -Vr
"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Ink\Microsoft.Ink.dll"
For a 64-bit computers, run:
"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\sn.exe" -Vr
"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Ink\Microsoft.Ink.dll"

This is not a long term solution or in any way acceptable solution, just to
unblock your development for now.

Thank you. Lidia

Hi Lidia,

1. Desktop
2. XP SP2
3. No Tablet
4. Yes, tested my own app + InkAnalysisScannedPaperForm sample
5. Yes
6. I am using "Add reference..." -> .Net Tab -> Microsoft Tablet PC API
6a. I my componentlist are 3x Microsoft Tablet PC API.
Version A: V 1.7.260, Runtime 1.0.3705, c:\Program Files\Reference
Assemblies\Microsoft\Tablet PC\v1.7\Microsoft.ink.dll
Version B: V 6.0.0.0, Runtime 2.0.50727, c:\Program Files\Reference
Assemblies\Microsoft\Tablet PC\v6.0\Microsoft.ink.dll
Version C: V 1.7.260, Runtime 1.0.3705, c:\Program Files\Microsoft
Tablet PC Platform SDK\Include\Microsoft.ink.dll
6b. I'm using Version B
7. Tested at the moment "InkAnalysisScannedPaperForm" - same Exception -
this worked for me in the past. Same exception in VS2008 with this sample.
8. VS2008 is not expired, it is working fine since 1 week.

Using Microsoft Tablet PC API Version A (1.0.3705) solves the problem - but
I think, this is for .Net 1.0, isn't it? Are there any changes between this
versions (A<->B)?

Thank you for support!

Hi Linda,
done one more test - copying Microsoft.ink.dll from other desktop pc and
referenced to this file solved the problem. This means, the signed dll must
be overwritten with VS2005 SP1 or VS2008 Trail (all german versions).

Thank you, Stefan, for all your answers and further investigation. I think
you are right about the DLL being overwritten with another installation. I am
glad it is working now.

I just wanted to mention that Microsoft.Ink.dll 6.0 is a Windows VISTA
version. Please take a look at this MSDN topic for details on what version to
use when:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...59(VS.85).aspx

Applications developed with 1.7.260 should work on VISTA as well. Which
version to use really depends on what platforms you are developing your Ink
applications for.

I hope that helps. Thank you. Lidia
