This problem is related to missing the Visual Studio “redistributable package.” It is not obvious which one is missing based on the dependency walk, but I would try the one that corresponds with your compiler version first and see if things run properly: Visual Studio 2015 Visual Studio 2013 Visual Studio 2010 Visual Studio 2008 … Read more
What is a DLL? Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL)s are like EXEs but they are not directly executable. They are similar to .so files in Linux/Unix.

Make sure that the latest assemblies are deployed and no duplicated older assemblies are hiding in certain folders. Your best bet would be to delete every built item and rebuild/redeploy the entire solution.
A static library(.a) is a library that can be linked directly into the final executable produced by the linker,it is contained in it and there is no need to have the library into the system where the executable will be deployed. A shared library(.so) is a library that is linked but not embedded in the … Read more
Static libraries increase the size of the code in your binary. They’re always loaded and whatever version of the code you compiled with is the version of the code that will run. Dynamic libraries are stored and versioned separately. It’s possible for a version of the dynamic library to be loaded that wasn’t the original … Read more

Install-Package Costura.Fody After adding it to the project, it will automatically embed all references that are copied to the output directory into your main assembly. You might want to clean … Read more
