SP9 cxlibw-5-0.dll randomly missing

[Former Member]

On several machines we get the following message, the app however does startup after this message: "The program can't start because cxlibw-5-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

• Doesn't always occur
• CR functions normally
• Hasn't triggered on x86 yet
• Using useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true" (using ado.net datasets)
• Application is using dotnet 4.5.1 (with VS2013), x64 compiled
• Doesn't happen during debugging

Try the second solution from below KB.

Does this also apply when just the runtime is installed? (SP8 and SP7 didn't show this behavior)

Also copying into syswow64 overwrites the system32 folder on a x64 machine, which would make it unusable either for x86 or x64 depending on which was copied later.

Trying to get a consistent test case now so I can verify if this works.

-edit-

After this "hack" the same message appears again only with "boezlib.dll".

-edit:2-

Reinstalling the runtime doesn't help, the hitrate seems to be 1 in 10.

Note that this happens on dev and non-dev machines.
