Could not load file or assembly … The parameter is incorrect … HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG)

• polska2180

  Kirill,

  I tried repairing .NET FRAMEWORK 2.0, but i still got the error message:

  The parameter is incorrect … HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG)

  I found out that it goes away when I comment out :

  '<Assembly: PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum, Name:="Local Intranet")>

  '<Assembly: PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestOptional, Unrestricted:=True)>

  Does anyone know why

  BUT now I get a different error when I comment out the Assemblies:

  Current error now:

  A first chance exception of type 'System.Security.SecurityException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

  (There was an error: Request for the permission of type "System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture= neutral, PublickKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.)

  Help, does anyone know what to do And why I get it when I comment out the 2 assemblies listed

  Okay...I've figured out my issue. I'm not for sure why uninstalling and reinstalling worked for people. Unless, they somehow messed up the web.config in the C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.05027\Config\ directory.

  Background: The assembly causing me trouble was built in house and I did not have the source code.

  Required: You need the Visual Studio SDK for ildasm.exe

  Steps:

  1.) Disassemble the .dll with the command ildasm.exe AssemblyName.dll /out:AssemblyName.il

  2.) Open the newly created AssemblyName.il with a text editor and search for "permissionset"

  3.) Find and delete the following lines:

  
  .permissionset reqmin
  = {[mscorlib]System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSetAttribute = {property string 'Name' = string('nobody')},
  [mscorlib]System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermissionAttribute = {property bool 'Execution' = bool(true)}}

  4.) Save and rebuild the assembly with the following command: ilasm.exe AssemblyName.il /dll

  5.) Throw the new dll in your bin directory or if it's strong named and needed in the GAC you can put it there.

  Hope that helps.

  One of my colleagues found something similar a few months back; I asked him to post it here, but hadn't realised he'd not done so:

  • Uninstall .NET (Runtime and SDK)
  • Uninstall IIS
  • Install .NET (Runtime and SDK)
  • Install IIS

  This seemed to fix the problem for him, without the rather-more-drastic course of a full machine rebuild.

  I hope this helps people!

  Hello ppl.

  Ok, that's not working for me.

  I recently made a Conversion from VS2003 to VS2005.

  I was using a reference to a DLL working very well in VS2003. In VS2005 it gives-me this message:

  Error 122 Nao foi possivel carregar o ficheiro ou assemblagem 'CAPICOM, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=112d456261246b54' ou uma das respectivas dependencias. O parametro e incorrecto. (Excepcao de HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))
  

  (sorry for the portuguese message) it basically says:
  Error 122 It was not possible to load the file or assembly 'CAPICOM ...' or one of its dependencies. The parameter is incorrect. (exception HRESULT .... )

  Thata DLL is external and protected. i cannot access it.

  any ideas

  thanks...

  Uninstall, reboot, then install all parts of the .net framework - I had the same problem after my laptop's battery unexpectedly gave-up. The only thing that helped was full reinstall of .net.

  Hope this works for you too,

  Miroslav B.

  It worked for me too. I cleaned up the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files and I was happy again .

  
  
  

• yeos_lee

  A colleague found (this afternoon) that that worked for him too. I was pretty sure we’d tried that already, but evidently not.
  
  Thanks, Miroslav. I’m glad it fixed the problem for you and hopefully it won’t be a problem for anyone again :o)

  Reinstall .NET Nah. I didn't even have to clean up the entire Temp Files directory. I deleted the directory C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\MyWebService and recompiled and it worked fine.

  I suspect that there is a conflict between compiled code versions that happens here. The web service I was building worked fine until I went to debug some code that I had added. I changed the web.config debug option to 'true' and immediately got the 'parameter is incorrect' error. I suspect that the compiler doesn't rebuild every file when you change just the web.config like it does when you change the Solution Configurations dropdown (up in the menubar).

  Just some guesses.

  I'm sure that works great, but I wouldn't call it a solution. What is causing this error I'm digging a little further. I'll post what I find.

  Hi LatinaCWU21,

  you can first try http://forums.asp.net/p/1125637/1769670.aspx - clean up C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files
  

  If this doesn't help, try reinstalling .NET Framework. VB 2005 is based on .NET Framework 2.0, but you can reinstall .NET without uninstalling VB. You can find the .NET 2.0 setup file (called dotnetfx.exe) and it will allow you to reinstall .NET.

  Hope this helps,

  Kirill

  I got this exact same error as well.

  Some people have suggested to unistall .NET Framework and install .NET Framework. Does that .NET FRamework comes from VB 2005 IF so does that mean I have to reinstall VB 2005

  I am working w/VB 2005 and I ran into the error.

  Any suggestions And does anyone know what this error means and why I am getting it

  ~M~

  Another thumb UP;

  I deleted the entire folder of Temporary Internet Files and it worked for me.

  Yes, Really, re-installing .NET is not the solution. Glad that this worked
