All of the sudden, I'm no longer able to build a Solution without getting an error in VS 2010. A minute ago I was able to build, and now I can't.

The error is:

Unable to load referenced library 'C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0\System.DirectoryServices.dll': System Error &H8013110e&

I've checked and the .dll is there. I've re-booted and grabbed the latest version from Team Foundation Server.

Any ideas?

This post on MSDN indicates that this error message represents a BadImageFormatException. That exception, combined with the steps you have already taken, makes me think that maybe your install of .NET has become corrupted. I had a similar issue a while back (while using a VM) and I had to repair the .NET Framework on my VM using the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool to finally resolve the issue.

If you check the comment on the accepted answer to this question, I posted the steps I took when using the .NET cleanup tool.

I re-installed VS 2010, and the error no longer appears.

  • Odd, sucks that it came down to that, but at least you got it resolved. – rsbarro Aug 03 '11 at 04:26
  • Accepting this answer, not because it's a great answer, but because the problem disappeared after the re-install of VS 2010. @rsbarro's response was very informative. – mg1075 Aug 03 '11 at 23:37
