Azure connector - Could not load file or assembly 'Azure.Core, Version=1.14.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=92742159e12e44c8' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Hi there,

I'm currently facing the following issue after I implemented the Azure Connector based on the documentation. I'm running 2021R1 and I have all hotfixes installed. I already installed the Azure.Core version 1.14 package manually, but it didn't solve the problem. I already tested the PS commands manually and I can connect to Azure to fetch the data needed.

During my Google research I found a couple of articles stating that I might have to add the following line to a .NET config file, but I couldn't find that file:

<GenerateBindingRedirectsOutputType>true</GenerateBindingRedirectsOutputType>

Could not load file or assembly 'Azure.Core, Version=1.0.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=92742159e12e44c8' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. · Issue #16095 · Azure/azure-sdk-for-net · GitHub

Does anyone got this error as well and found a solution?

Thx

Jules

Any resolution to this?

Hi, @dbeckner I was given a hotfix by support with changes made to ComplianceReader.exe.config. As it is not publicized fix yet to my knowledge, please create support case and refer to case #02533477.

BR, Antti

Thank you! I have reached out to Flexera about this.
