Distributing XULRunner with ClickOnce

Recently I was working on ClickOnce Application and I was trying to distribute XULRunner with my application. Unfortunately when deploying the application I realized that not all the files where included in the ClickOnce applications file, particularly text files such as files that ended in .ini or .manifest.

The solution was to go into the solution explorer in Visual Studio, select the files that there not being copied, and set the build action to content for those files.

System.BadImageFormatException on a 64-bit Machine

The other day, one of our customers was switching over to 64-bit development machines, and encountered the following issue:

System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly'(assembly name)' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

The likely reason is that you (or in this instance, our customer) are trying to load a 32-bit assembly into a 64-bit application. This can happen when you have the Any CPU platform selected.

Solution:

If your scenario sounds like the one I described, try setting your application to run in x86 mode. In Visual Studio this can be done by going to Build -> Configuration Manager…

…and setting the Platform to be x86.

There are many Windows 7 Image resizers out there that integerate into the shell, but this is my favorite.
