VS 2005 Reference Problem With Version Number
I have successfully compiled a program that references several dlls. The program runs fine in the IDE but when installed I get the error below that indicates a version problem. The referenced dll has version 1.2.1.0 while the calling dll is looking for version 1.2.0.0. Okay, I deleted the reference in the calling dll and then put in a reference to the correct dll. When the reference is added, its properties show version 1.2.0.0 but its manifest shows version 1.2.1.0. I also removed and replaced the reference to the dll in the main program and the same thing happens. So, what can I do to get the version numbers in agreement? Note that the calling dll has Specific Version set to False but that doesn't seem to make a difference. The main program is VB and the calling dll is C#, but that should be immaterial. The called dll is skybound.visualstyles.dll.

Thanks for your quick response. The main program is hard coded as 1.0.0.0 and the tri-state tree view dll is coded as 1.0.*. The skybound.visualstyles.dll manifest shows 1.2.1.0 but I don't know if that indicates it was hard coded. The problem is with skybound.visualstyles.dll which I cannot change.
