assembly specified in the dependencies manifest was not found

412 Views Asked by At

We have a website being deployed on site and it is failing to start up. It is a .NET Core 1.1.2 application and when using the command line:

dotnet Website.dll we get the following error:

"Error: assembly specified in the dependencies manifest was noto found -- package: 'system.data.sqlclient', version: '4.4.0', path: 'runtimes/win/lib/netstandard1.3/System.Data.SqlClient.dll'"

I'm not normally involved with the deployments so this was has got me baffled. If it's any help, this is a debug build, not relelase (Don't ask!)

Any help/suggestions very much appreciated.

It seems that it was as simple as it was packaged with the wrong dll! Once the correct dll was supplied it started up as it should have.
