Failed Management pack install (ver. 1.6.1 and 1.7)

Hi Gal,

 

 

I don't think you need to install the whole SDK to have your problem resolved. Apparently the CustomMarshalers.dll GAC-ed on your system doesn't have the expected version (v2.0.50727.3053), which is part of the .NET 2.0 framework. In the GAC you still have v1.0.5000.0 of the CustomMarshalers.dll. I would recommend the following steps to get you unblocked:

 

 

1. First, check if the .NET 2.0 CustomMarshalers.dll assembly is installed on your system. Look for it in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727. If the file is there, check the version: right click > properties > Version tab > File version: it should be 2.0.50727.3053. It the file is not there, copy the files in the archive attached to this post (32-bit version of the CustomMarshalers.dll and related XML serializer file), into the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 folder. (But I'd be worried if you don't have this file on your system, as it should be part of a default, non-tampered-with .NET 2 framework installation).

 

 

2. Install v2.0.50727.3053 of the CustomMarshallers.dll in the GAC: using the v2.0 gacutil (that you downloaded from the NET 2.0 SDK), copy it in the location where the v2.0 CustomMarshallers.dll assembly is located (C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727) and, from a command prompt placed in that location, run: gacutil /if CustomMarshalers.dll.

 

 

3. Check if the correct version of the CustomMarshalers.dll is GAC-ed (2.0) (in C:\Windows\Assembly)

 

 

4. Attempt to install the F5 Management Pack again.

 

 

Let us know how it goes.
