Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Dexterity.Bridge.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found

Posted on by Keith Claypool 7

I have a C# application where we use eConnect to pull and push data into Great Plains.  Recently we have experienced the error above.  I have checked that eConnect is running and we can call to connect and close the connection from the program.  I have stepped through the code and the issue occurs when I call the form show event.   It is saying that the file is not found, I have tried moving the file to the project and changing the reference to it, did not work, changed copy local value from True to False and that has no effect.  

System.IO.FileNotFoundException
  HResult=0x8007007E
  Message=Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Dexterity.Bridge.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.

    RE: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Dexterity.Bridge.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found

    I have seen this error when either of the following is through:

    1. The version of the eConnect assembly does not match that of the one shipped with Microsoft Dynamics GP. You can easily resolve this by reinstalling the Dexterity Shared Components

    2. The Microsoft.Dexterity.Bridge assembly is missing from the Dynamics GP root folder.

    Other issue I can think of is, you have the Bridge assembly on your machine, but there's a version registered in the GAC not matching the one in the GP folder.

    none of these seemed to be the issue. The DLL is not currently in the GAC on any of the machines and it worked before.  I'm wondering if a Microsoft patch may have caused the issue?  This is the only thing that has changed on these servers over the last few months.

    This file is sitting in

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2018

    I use it all the time in my VS C# customizations.

    Try either doing a repair of GP or uninstall and reinstall. Or you can simply copy it from another computer.

    When you are building your customization check your references and see how the path to this reference is setup. It is possible the path on your server is different than the path on your development computer.

    the reference is pointing here C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2015\Microsoft.Dexterity.Bridge.dll and the file is located there.

    If you go into Control Panel->System->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Shared Folders->Open Files this file is listed there is it? If it is remove it.

    I will fire up a GP 2015 image upon which I have VS C# and will check out this file and get back to you. Is the server the only computer where your application does not run?

    the servers are Windows 2012 currently and up to date on all Microsoft patches.

    Then it must something in your environment.  I have dozens of workstations and servers that serve as development and workstation computers and I have never seen this. We have used Sophos and Trend Micro for anti-virus. If you click on Properties for Microsoft.Dexterity.Bridge.dll and then details what is the product version?

    H:\WorkSpace\GreatPlains\GP2015\Extensions\AHHGPCapitated\frmCapitated.cs:line can you show us what exactly what is throwing this error?

    here is the button click event.  I sure that you need the more details than this

    private void btnRunCapitated_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

           {

               StartRunDateTime = DateTime.Now;

               lblProgress.Text = "Retrieving Data";

               AHHAdapter.LogInfo("Capitated Processing", "Started", LogPacket);

               if (capBackgroundWorker.IsBusy != true)

               {

                   capBackgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync();

                   btnRunCapitated.Enabled = false;

                   btnCancel.Enabled = true;

               }

           }
