When I look at the installLog.txt, I get this: Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Installation utility Version 2.0.50727.3053 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Exception occurred while initializing the installation: System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or this assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded. assembly 'file:///C:\MyService.exe' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.. The same approach works fine for installing a different assembly. I feel like it might be because the one that fails was written for .NET 4.0, and the one that works is in 3.5.

Shouldn't that mean that .NET 4.0 is already installed? –SuperNES Nov 18 '10 at 15:49 Just tried to install it - it's already installed. –SuperNES Nov 18 '10 at 15:53 1 Its not a 32/64 bit problem is it? –w69rdy Nov 18 '10 at 16:00 i've tried the 32 and 64 bit versions of installutil; neither one works. –SuperNES Nov 18 '10 at 16:09 add a comment| 8 Answers 8 active olde

Add a new Solution Configuration for 'Any CPU' (or x64 - since a .Net application as Any CPU will run as 64 bit on a 64 bit machine) if you don't already have one, creating project configuration(s) as well. Check that the target platform of the exe is 'Any CPU' (or x64) on the 'Build' tab of the project properties (it's about 4 lines down on the property page). share|improve this answer answered Jun 27 '12 at 12:06 Andras Zoltan 31k877137 Thanks. I had to go to the properties of the service itself. It was set to x64, and then I switched it to Any CPU. And, that's somehow worked -- now I can install the service without an error and it shows up in the Task Manager without the 32 bit

was keen to jump on the Visual Studio 2010 and .net 4.0 bandwagon. I converted some of our projects here at Crocus to the .net 4 framework (which was incredibly easy – nothing broke!) I even took advantage of some of the quick to implement features in .net 4, and converted some of our massively over-ridden methods to use optional parameters. One project in particular is a Windows Service, that sends out purchase orders on a schedule. (I recently wrote about how this broke due to Quartz.net expecting a UTC start time) This has a Visual Studio deployment project associated with it. After building the newly upgraded .net 4 version of the project, and deploying the .msi file to our target server, I got the following error: Error 1001 Exception occurred while initializing the installation. System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded. Now, I had definitely upgraded said server to .net 4 (twice, as a matter of fact – after the first time i received this error!) After some Googling, some people were saying to change the platform target on my assemblies, which i did, to no avail. I eventually discovered the problem. You need to set the .NET Framework Launch Condition Here’s how to do it: Right click on your deployment project in solution explorer Under “Version” Choose .NET Framework 4 After rebuilding and deploying my setup file, everything worked fine.
