Could not load file or assembly ...... The system cannot find the file specified (after upgrade to dotnet 8)

Question

Hi,

I got an issue after upgrading our batch application from dotnet 3.1 to 8.

Could not load file or assembly ...... The system cannot find the file specified.

In the project itself, we specify all dependency projects, and during the testing, everything is okay and there are no issues, but this issue occurs many times after going to production.

The flow is a .cmd file called a .exe batch file, so it's an ad-hoc basis.

I don't have a clue of what's happening. What could cause the batch not to load the assembly file?

It's because of the dotnet 8? or servers?

dotNet runtimes = 8.0.8
Windows Server 2016

Hi @Yedija Budiono ,

After upgrading your batch application from dotnet 3.1 to 8, ensure the correct version of RabbitMQ.Client.dll is used.

Explicitly set the working directory to the location of the .exe in the script.

Best Regards.
