Trying to call a dll (converted from a jar) in a web application, getting "Could not locate ikvm.home when establishing VFS".

[apn-hroussel]

OK. So following my success with a jar converted to an executable, I tried to convert a jar to a dll and then use this dll as part of a service handler (web app running under IIS).

I got the "Could not locate ikvm.home when establishing VFS" message, even though I had a copy of the "ikvm" runtime under the "bin" directory of my app. I even confirmed, with procmon64.exe, that the directories were found and visited.

Is there anything that would process differently, from the point of view of ikvm, because we're running under IIS?

Has anybody else tried to convert a jar to a dll and load that from an aspx page, or a web service under IIS?

Thanks.

Shadow copies are the issue.

Thanks, that worked!

For anybody else who has the same issue, you need to put,

in the <system.web> section of your web.config.

See my answer below. Original line seemed to have gotten erased because it was html markup maybe?

May I know what should I put into web.config?

[apn-hroussel]

OK my bad I didn't realize the most important line had gotten erased.

I needed to put,

<hostingEnvironment shadowCopyBinAssemblies="false" />
