无法加载文件或程序集“Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces，Version=1.0.0.0，Culture=neutral，PublicKeyToken=XX”或其依赖项之一

Question

I have a C#/.NET project that's targeting .NET Framework 4.8. When attempting to do an Import-Module in terminal, I get this error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I've looked into whether the references used could have additional dependencies, but I think I've installed all the correct packages.

Here's the app.config:

If I'm understanding the dependencies for each package, there exists a relationship of Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces v6.0.0.0 > System.Threading.Tasks.Extensions v4.5.4 > System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe v6.0.0

Any ideas why there would still be an error that seems to be looking for v1.0.0.0?

A few things I've tried:

• Clearing the assembly cache
• Clearing the NuGet package Cache
• Doing an 'Update-Package' for the specific versions required in my project

Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

Answer 1

After looking into this issue more, it seems that Autofac's version was my issue. For some reason, Autofac 6.4. 0 and Autofac 5.2.0 were both looking for Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces v1.0.0.0 , even though the listed dependency is Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces >=v1.1.0.0 . However, Autofac was also targeting.Netstandard rather than .NET Framework 4.8 which caused some incompatibility. Ultimately, I downgraded Autofac to 4.9.4 as any new functionality isn't necessary in my project anyway. This comes with less dependencies and the error isn't present.
