Could someone explain me following inconsistencies with the same Rhino build when running with .NETCore ? Rhino 8 SR5 2024-3-12 (Rhino 8, 8.5.24072.13001) on Windows 10 (10.0.19045) with .NET 7.0.0 (PL) running in EN without PL lang pack does not complain, loads plugin and works fine. While two ot…

I managed to identify where Compat died. System.Boolean SimpleLogger.SimpleLog::???(System.String,System.String) ? PASS System.Boolean System.String::op_Equality(System.String,System.String) < mscorlib System.Boolean SimpleLogger.SimpleLog::???(System.String) [image] [image] It looks like …

It is interesting finding, SimpleLogger is an external piece so it will be easy to detach all at once and rebuild without it and check if it indeed creates an issue, though … this still doesn’t explain why/how laptops are doing great in this whole thing :flying_saucer:

afaik there’s another class, seemingly a floating license class, that uses EventLog. Anyway you may do whatever you like, clean the compat cache, and check if it still crashes. [image]

@gankeyu Thanks for your input but seems it’s not the right path, completely kicking out logger and any possible EventLog related thing doesn’t change a thing, cleared the cache, but still no out and failed to load, however, I’ll try to break it down with your CLR approach - it sounds reasonable so …

@curtisw @gankeyu The funny thing is that when I’ll run “Rhino.exe” through WinDbg, it runs the plugin without any issue (the original/release/obfuscated one) on the Dual Xeon, and doesn’t complain, nothing special in WinDbg or I’m not enough experienced here. But without WinDbg, failed to load. ED…

Can you share with me the file without EventLog reference?

are you familiar with fuslogvw? [image] Fuslogvw.exe (Assembly Binding Log Viewer) - .NET Framework Use Fuslogvw.exe, the Assembly Binding Log Viewer. This viewer shows assembly bind details, which helps diagnose why .NET can't find an assembly at run time. I…

@gankeyu being honest I would prefer not to expose intermediary builds to the world. I highly appreciate your help as probably the key factor is the old compat cache, which you brought on the front line. Long time no see @jdhill :slight_smile: Thanks for your input, well if you are out of options …

@gankeyu @curtisw Seems that compat cache has stuck for some reason, reboot helped, now I’m back and it looks like Compat.exe never gave good results (besides that when Rhino.exe is opened through WinDbg) always failing on Dual Xeon (lets treat it as representing of NL [not loading devices group]) n…
