无法加载文件或程序集'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging

Question

I have COM-Interop enabled C# library (DLL) where I configured App.config to enable enterprise logging. But as soon as my BootStrapper.Run is called from COM dll, I keep getting the below error though logging & common DLLs exist in my bin folder Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll (v6.0.1304.0) Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll (v6.0.1304.0)

{"An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for loggingConfiguration: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

NOTE : If I call BootStrapper.Run() from console (EXE) application, the logger facade initialization is success. But when I call the same from COM-Interop enabled C# DLL, I get the above error.

I get the mentioned exception when trying to initialize LogWriterFactory (3rd line in try block)

public LoggingService()
{
        try
        {
            var appConfig = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
            IConfigurationSource configurationSource = new FileConfigurationSource(appConfig.FilePath);
            var logWriterFactory = new LogWriterFactory(configurationSource);
            Logger.SetLogWriter(logWriterFactory.Create());
        }
        catch(Exception exception)
        {
            Console.Write(exception.Message);  
        }
}

Am I missing something here?

After running fusion logger I get the below log:

=== Pre-bind state information ===

Answer 1

Using Fusion log viewer, I found there are some issue:

1) My App.config file missing version info for enterprise logging dll in header(app.config). After adding version info, error message has gone.

2) Then, I faced DLL hell problem. COM DLL start looking for its dependencies from GAC and EXE location (but not on assembly location) due to which it was unable to launch the logging DLL.

I choose to copy enterprise Library logging DLLs into EXE and fixed the issue.

Thanks much @rene and @Hans who really helped me here.
