File Load Exception on application startup

Question

My application has encountered a problem and needs to close. Of course Microsoft is sorry for the inconvenience, but how am i supposed to debug my app? Which dll fails to load?

The error report contains between others, system.io.fileloadexception

How do you handle situations like these?

Answer 1

Just restart your program.

Answer 2

Use the Assembly Binding Log Viewer.

This will allow you to see what assemblies are failing to load and why (this works for .NET dlls only).
