Build Solution fails

[JochenManegold]

I have a installation of ArcGIS Desktop 9.4 and the ArcObjects SDK on a Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit). I generated in Visual Studio 2008 a Desktop Class Library from the ESRI Templates and generated a Command based on BaseCommand. If I compile the solution (for the x86 platform), an error occures:
"The command "esriRegasm.exe "C:\Data\jm\JMLib1\JMLib1\bin\x86\Debug\JMLib1.dll" /v 9.4 /p Desktop /s" exited with code -1."
If I run the esriRegasm from the CommandLine - or using the context menu in the explorer - esriRegasm fails with: "Registration failed. Could not write to disk". My account is in the Administrator Group.

start Visual Studio 2008 with the command "run as administrator" - then it works fine

I tried running the application as an Administrator but I still get this error as well. Has this happened to anyone else?

Check to see if you have the right permission to write to \Program Files\Common Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Configuration\CATID. Use "Program Files (x86)" if it is a 64-bit OS.

The permissions are at full control for my login. The properties dialog for this folder states that it is "Read Only (Only applies to files in folder)". See attached screenshot. Still getting error in VS2010.

Here is the output when I execute esriRegasm.exe from the command line while adding the '/e' flag.

Hi fellj,

I see now that your error is different than the original post.

See if you can try to debug it with the troubleshooting suggestion posted on 2/2/2010 in the following thread http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/1162-Beta-10-Issue-with-ESRIRegAsm?p=4267#post4267.

The goal is to attach esriRegasm.exe to step into your code and see if it throws any useful information during debugging.

[JohnFell]

I've made the suggested change to the esriRegasm.exe.config file but nothing has changed. I still get the following error when I try to Clean, Build, or Debug the solution.

The command "esriRegasm.exe "NewFindAcctTool.dll" /p:Desktop /s" exited with code -1.

See attached esriRegasm.exe.config file snapshot.

It looks like your assembly/DLL is failing to load.

You can debug this using the Microsoft Fusion Log Viewer utility, i.e. fuslogvw.  Run the utility from the Visual Studio Command Prompt.  Make sure to set a Custom Log Location and set it to a directory which exists.  What you want to see is binds that fail.  The way that assemblies are located in .NET is complex:(

If this is too much, then try to use the free Reflector utility from Red-Gate.  What you want to do is to expand the dependencies in order to find those that have load issues.  In the unmanaged world this was done using the Depends utility.

I've followed the suggestion to use the "fuslogvw" utility using the Microsoft Visual Studios 2010 command prompt. As I made an attempt to build the solution the following information was written to the log:

*** Assembly Binder Log Entry  (9/28/2010 @ 11:22:46 AM) ***

The operation failed.

With my limited experience in developing .NET applications I cannot interpret these results. What does this tell us?

Thanks for your help.
