The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Application Validation did not succeed. Unable to continue

Asked by T_Mann in Test / Validation Development Software, Deployment Software for Development

Tags: microsoft, visual studio, 2005

I'm getting this error after publishing to the server. It occurs when I test the install.
The dll in question in the manifest file on the target differs from the version I show in my references.
EXAMPLE: 1.0.3236.22091 (is source) vs. 1.0.2824.22979 in the generated manifest file on the server. The dll in question was generated from VS2003.
This seems to be isolated to my setup. If I have another developer (who was the original author of the deployed application) pull my copy from source safe, the problem goes away (for him) but I still eperience the error.
This is a Visual Basic windows application (.Net 2.0 framework)

Any Ideas as to where I might start looking?
