Problem:

Could not load file or assembly ‘FluorineFx’ or one of its dependencies. Strong name signature could not be verified. The assembly may have been tampered with, or it was delay signed but not fully signed with the correct private key. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×80131045)

Description:

This issue isn’t a problem inherent to the FluorineFx package, but is caused by any libraries that use signing. If an assembly that uses signing is requested, IIS checks against the GAC to make sure it has record of the assemblies “Public Key Token”. This is used so IIS can serve different versions of the same assembly across different applications.

Solution

(1) Install the .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit if it is not already.

NOTE: This installation does NOT require a restart.

(2) Install the appropriate version of the FluorineFx package OR whichever library that is causing the issue.

(3) Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration > “Manage the Assembly Cache” > “View List of Assemblies in the Assembly Cache”.

(4) Right-click “Assembly Cache” in the left column and select “Add…”.

(5) Browse to the newly installed DLL. If you try to reference the DLL that is in your application you may run into issues.

In the case of FluorineFx, the default path is “C:\Program Files\FluorineFx\Bin\net\3.5\FluorineFx.dll”

With the DLL added to the GAC you should be good to go!

If you are a MXML and/ or ActionScript developer using Eclipse, you must use FlexFormatter. Head over to sourceforge and grab this eclipse plug-in NOW! Finally, an end to the war between new-liners and same-liners.

For those of you using Textmate and/or Git on the Mac, check out OpenInGit and OpenInTextMate.

For those of you who aren’t…convert now!

About two weeks ago, my Macbook Pro starting *squealing* while I was at work. At the time, I was using Adobe Flash CS4 as part of the pre-release of Adobe Design Premium CS4 and began to blame it on the current build. After two to three more occurrences it was just straight up annoying and I looked into the issue. Turns out many people have been having issues with the fans of their Macbook pros, in particular…the right rear fan
.
Well, after monitoring the situation for a few days I decided mine was on it’s way out and ordered a new one. For anyone reading this, don’t simply go purchasing a new fan right away! If you are experiencing issues with a fan in your macbook, I highly recommend running the application smcFanControl. This handy application allows you to not only monitor the RPMs and temperature of your laptop’s individual fans, it allows you to individually adjust the RPMs.

If you keep tabs on the RPM rate of your fans with this tool you should be able to prevent any issues before they happen.
