I have an old ClickOnce .NET application compiled for "Any CPU" which runs perfectly on a whole host of WinXP and Win7 (32 bit machines). However, when I run it on Windows 7 (64 bit) calls to a specific 3rd part DLL fail. So I thought I'd recompile it for"x86" only.
However, now when I try to install it on my Windows 7 (64 bit) machine I'm getting the following error:-
"Unable to install or run the application. The application requires Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication Version 9.0.242.0 to be installed in the General Assembly Cache (GAC) first. Please contact your administrator"
This is odd because the program is just a standard WinForms application that reads and writes from a SQL Server database on a server. The application and the client machine doesn't need SQL Server installed (although it just happens to be installed on the machine I'm using), and I'm not using Replication anywhere!
What does the error mean? And how can I fix it? I really don't want to install *any* SQL Server products on the client machine.
