Data Access stopped working on my pc

[Leszek]

Hi,

Data Access stopped working on my pc. I'm using version 2013.3.132.

It is working on the same project on another pc (synchronized via visual studio online) and I have created new project, added DataAcess project and is the same error. Error is when compiling.

Error1The "OpenAccessDeploy" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Data Access\\sdk\enhancer.exe. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build.Utilities, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.DataAccess
.

Visual creator for DataAccess is working fine. I could connect to the database and create model from database tables.

I have reinstalled data Access from wizzard provided by Telerik. Restarted pc. Still the same error.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Leszek

Hello Leszek,

In general, the Data Access Enhancer tool is built against the CLR 2 build framework, which seems to be not installed / discoverable on your machine. To troubleshoot the situation on your side, it will be most helpful if your provide the following additional details:

1. Machine configuration:
- the Windows version
- the .NET Framework version
- the Visual Studio version
2. Is the Microsoft.Build.Utilities assembly (with version 2.0.0.0) available in the GAC folder of the machine?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Doroteya

Hi Leszek,

I think the issue might be that per default, Windows 10 does not install the .NET 3.5 framework. If you started with a new clean Windows 10 machine, the needed assemblies are not available immediately.
You can install this optional feature of Windows by yourself. A detailed explanation is available
from

Hope this solves your issue,

I had the same issue after upgrading to Windows 10 anniversary edition.  It looks like .NET Framework 3.5 wasn't installed after the updated.  I installed .NET Framework again, and appears to be working okay.

Just wanted to post that the Windows 10 Creator's update does this same nerfing even when just upgrading a previous Windows 10 installation that was all working fine.  They've also started moving things around to get rid of parts of the Control Panel, but just searching "Turn windows features on or off" in the start menu will get you right there.
