Issue/Introduction
Application Profiler fails to open files with System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly error
Resolution
This error occurs when:
To resolve the issue:
- The Analyst client contains a module (seen in the \Modules\ folder) which is not present on the server in the deployment area to which the client connects.
- When starting the Analyst client, when prompted "An update for TIBCO Spotfire is available... When do you wish to install the update?" you select "Later" (meaning the client modules are not synced with the server's deployment area)
- The Application Profiler is opened via Tools > Diagnostics > Application Profiler and attempts to open a file.
To resolve the issue:
- Launch the Analyst client, log in to the TIBCO Spotfire Server, and when prompted to update the client select "Update Now". Then the Application Profiler can be successfully run.
