Issue while upgrading Sitefinity 6.3 (Azure Webproject) to S

Hi,

 I have a website developed in Sitefinity 6.3 that is deployed on windows Azure (website deployed in Cloud Service). Now I have upgraded the project to sitefinity 7.0 as mentioned on your migration page.

Project upgraded successfully, and I followied the steps to remove & add References, but then I ran the project & it showed me following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assembly 'Telerik.Sitefinity, Version=7.0.5100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b28c218413bdf563'
uses 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime, Version=2.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'
which has a higher version than referenced assembly
'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime, Version=1.8.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I installed the Azure SDK version 2.2, then following error was displaying:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect

I tried setting following tag in web.config :

---------------------------------------

<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"  />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.3.0.0" newVersion="2.2.0.0" />
    </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding

---------------------------------------

I also copied the related dlls in bin folder & added reference to project.

But nothing seemed to work for me, Please let me know where am I going wrong?

 Thanks

Hey Amit,

After I deployed my site(sf7) after an upgrade from 6.3 to Azure. I went to deploy to our internal staging environment and received the same error as you.  I was able to find the "msshrtmi.dll" in the Azure 2.2 SDK folder.  I copied the dll to the bin and redeployed to our internal staging and it all worked again.

 The location on my machine is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\.NET SDK\v2.2\bin\runtimes\base\x64

 Happy Coding This!

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you very much for sharing your solution with the community.

Amit, can you please try the solution suggested by Jonathan and let me know about the result. You may also take a look at the following article for additional information about how to upgrade Sitefinity project running on Azure.

Deleting the dll from the bin worked for me
