Unhandled error in AdvancedDrawing.FontRegistry

The type initializer for 'Aurigma.GraphicsMill.AdvancedDrawing.FontRegistry' threw an exception.

I have all the DLLs in the bin folder and also have the license file in there too. Any ideas what might be causing the exception?

Here is the full runtime error:

I have commented out the navigation code as we don't need that but that shouldn't have any effect on the call to the imaging component. In fact the watermarking page references this same Main.master.cs and works without error.

In Visual Studio I am debugging by stepping through one line at a time and it errors right as it leaves the Page_Load event.

Unfortunately forum's binding with out test cases system was broken for some time and we didn't get previous reply. Sorry.

The fix will be available with the next nuget package update (> 7.1.65) as soon as possible.

I have downloaded the latest Graphics Mill Core (x86) 7.1.67 and installed it through Packet manager console and tried to run it locally in windows 2003 server.

Then the same issue is happening. This is not happening in windows 7 or IIS7.

this is only happening in windows server 2003 and in IIS6.

It is also happening with Aurigma samples project C:\Program Files\Aurigma\Graphics Mill 7 SDK\Samples\ASP.NET as well.

i have installed the latest latest Graphics Mill Core (x86) 7.1.67 which you provided for this sample project as well and when i tried to open the Combineimage.aspx it throws the following exception. Please have a look at it and let you know what we can do to fix this and deploy our applciation in win 2003 IIS6.

I tried to run the checkversion console applciation in in target machine win 2003 server, as 4.5 not supported on 2003 ,i changed the target framework to 4 and i installed Aurigma 7.1.67.400

through Nuget Packet Manager Coinsole.PM> Install-Package Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Core.x86.

Please find the attached screen shot for the error i got when i ran the application.

Also i ran the application on windows 2007 i got the same error

We made sure Platform target is X86 and tried again. its the same error as yesterday

and also to make sure the difference i tried with both the dlls and shared the screenshots with you.

this is where old dll is throwing the exception a

Aurigma.GraphicsMill.AdvancedDrawing.Font f = bitmapv.GetAdvancedGraphics().CreateFont("Arial", "Bold", 14f);

nd new dll is throwing "A procedure imported by 'Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll' could not be loaded."

please have a look at it and let us know what else we can do.

I have just now installed Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013( actually it was already installed in our server, uninstalled and installed again)

and restarted the visual studio, and removed all C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\ files as well. But no luck same error again "A procedure imported by 'Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll' could not be loaded."

I changed target framework to 3.5, uninstalled and installed Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Core.x86 and ran the application. Please see the attached screenshot. Looks like it worked when we changed the target frame work, now we need to check how can we change our project framework.
