How to resolve runtime exception The invocation of the constructor on type 'Esri.ArcGISRuntime.UI.Controls.MapView'

Question

I was developing a GIS Windows Forms application using ArcGISRuntime SDK(version 100.4.0) in Visual Studio 2015. When I deploy the application exe in deployment machine(windows 10 machine with no visual studio environment) application worked properly. After that I shifted to Visual Studio 2017. The application was working properly in developers machine. But, when I deploy the exe in deployment machine(without VS2017 setup) it is throwing below exception:

'The invocation of the constructor on type 'Esri.ArcGISRuntime.UI.Controls.MapView' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception.'

After that I have gone through the below Link:

https://developers.arcgis.com/net/latest/wpf/guide/system-requirements.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_F2655B7F48F7464DB86CC7756706296D

It shows below requirements are compulsory for ArcGIS dependent application deployment:

1. Windows 10

2. Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.6.1 or later

3. Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017

My deployment machine satisfies first two requirements. So I installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 on my deployment machine. But, still the problem is not resolved.

Please help me in solving this problem.

Answer 1

After some R&D I found out that I was using ArcGISRuntime dll's of 32 bit. Visual C++ redistributable package is not installed on my deployment machine. So first I tried with installation of 64 bit version of that package but, it didn't work. Then I install 32 version which resolved my problem. Hope this helps.
