Hi!
I make a windows service using C# .Net 2.0. When I tried install the service using installutil command, I received the following error message:
System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly or one of its dependencies. The module should contain an assembly manifest.
I've used the PECompact in others applications .NET without any problems.
I am going to guess that this is due to installutil loading .NET EXE assembly images as if they were a DLL. However, that is only a guess at this time. Unfortunately, the method I use to compress .NET assemblies prevents proper handling of PE modules when loaded as if they were a DLL. I do not know that I will be able to fix the problem. I will put it on my todo list and look for a word-around when I get a chance, but can make no guarantees about when, or if, a resolution will be made ;(.
