Can anyone help me im getting this error when im publishing my project on release mode
SGEN : error : Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information.
Please help me im stuck on this issue.
There is an answer in Microsoft Support (https://support.microsoft.com/en-za/help/2572158/sgen-mixed-mode-assembly-is-built-against-version-v2-0-50727-of-the-ru) which says:
In order to use mixed mode assemblies in 4.0, it must be configured in the configuration file for Sgen
Resolution
Add the information below to the sgen.exe.config file located at the following location: ..\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\
<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />
</startup>
</configuration>
For Visual Studio 2017 the path is different and can be like: c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.1 Tools\
For Build/Publish in Release Mode please follow below step
create a new file as sgen.exe.config
keep below code in that file
<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<runtime>
<generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>
</runtime>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
Please keep this file in below path
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools Folder
And for x64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\x64 Folder
Now restart Visual Studio
Open Project in Administrator mode and Build/Publish in Release Mode.

My WPF application was running fine when built on VS2010 and using WiX3.5. I changed to VS2012 and installed the VS2012 runtime using Wix as below:
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">
<Merge Id="VC110RedistCRT" SourceFile="C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC110_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" Language="0"/>
<Merge Id="VC110RedistMFC" SourceFile="C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC110_MFC_x86.msm" DiskId="1" Language="0"/>
</DirectoryRef>
<Feature Id="VC110Redist" Title="Visual C++ 11.0 Runtime" AllowAdvertise="no" Display="hidden" Level="1">
<MergeRef Id="VC110RedistCRT"/>
<MergeRef Id="VC110RedistMFC"/>
</Feature>
Earlier with VS2010, application installation on new machine used to ask for reboot while installing .NET framework. Now with VS2012, it doesn't ask for reboot and application is running fine also.
I just wanted to know the possible reason and any side effects of this. Any details of how the C++ runtime and .Net Framework installation work with each other will be helpful.
Thanks
I can build project in debug mode, when I change to Release mode show this message:
The assembly mix mode was compiled in relation of version 'v2.0.50727' in runtime and do not be loaded in runtime 4.0 without configuration of additional information
File: SGEN
I don't have this file and I don't know what I can do.

I was trying to deploy my app into different environments then i started following this how to:
Deploying an ASP.NET Web Application to a Hosting Provider using Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer: Web.Config File Transformations - 3 of 12
was perfect until I clicked in Preview Transform, I received this error:
Microsoft Visual Studio
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform, Version=1.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
(I created just one transformation Web.DebugQA.config and of course the default ones, debug and release)
my Web.DebugQA.config looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyDB"
connectionString="Data Source=ReleaseSQLServer;Initial Catalog=MyReleaseDB;Integrated Security=True"
xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)"/>
</connectionStrings>
<system.web>
</system.web>
<appSettings>
<add key="EnvironmentName" value="QADev" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes(value)"
xdt:Locator="Match(key)" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>
but then I install this plugin:
SlowCheetah - XML Transforms
and I solved my preview transform error, but then when I was trying to publish using the QADev transform I got this error:
The "ImportParametersFile" task failed unexpectedly.
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform, Version=1.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I'm using Visual Studio Pro 2012.
I fixed this by repairing "Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools 2013.1 - Visual Studio 2012" from Control Panel --> Programs and Features.
The file Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform.dll was missing from the path C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web.
I had a similar error, although it was caused for different reasons.
I solved it copying the following DLL from another PC with VS2012 installed:
Microsoft.Web.XmlTransforms.dll
from: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web
I hope this helps
I had same problem in VS2012, could not 'Preview Transform' for the PublishPackage tranforms e.g. Web.Staging.config complaining about Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform
I got it working by adding the Package https://nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Web.Xdt to my Mvc 4.5 project. This package is still in pre release.
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.Web.Xdt -Pre
This package contains the Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform.dll
I still get an error during building complaining about "Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform". The Mvc project has still built ok.
I did try adding the Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform.dll to the Gac using the gacutil but that did not fix the problem.
However I use Team Foundation Service build server and it works and creates the correct Web.config after applying the Web.Release.config and then the Web.Staging.config.
I tried below two things but it did not work for me.
1) copying the Microsoft.Web.XmlTransforms.dll DLL to location C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web
2) And repairing "Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools 2013.1 - Visual Studio 2012"
Then I uninstalled Microsoft Azure tool V2.6 from control panel -> Programs and Features. And then I can able to publish my site.
This may have been fixed in Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 (and Visual Studio 2013).
Web.config "Preview Transform" gives an error

Thanks for reporting the issue! It will be fixed in Visual Studio 2012 Update 2. Please install it when it becomes available.
I've recently installed vs2012 and I've updated my ClickOnce application. To be more precise, the first time I've opened my C++ project (on which depends my primary c# project) I've not updated it and everything worked fine. VS 2012 was still able to see the Visual C++ 2010 prerequisite. Later on I've updated my project by changing the Platform Toolset to "Visual Studio 2012 (v110)" under Properties->Configuration Properties->General.
In the meantime I've installed even other software and now I discovered that I'm no more able to add the Visual C++ prerequisite to my project for the ClickOnce publishing. The Visual C++ 2010 Runtime Libraries (x64) prerequisite is marked with a yellow triangle and it is missing. Ideally I'd like to update to Visual C++ 2012 Runtime Libraries x64 (and x86), but even this prerequisite is missing.
I guess it is due to the fact that in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages the corresponding package (vcredist_x64) is empty. I've also noticed that in the list of installed programs in the Control Panel I had Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 and x86 installed, both the Redistributable version and the Runtime version (I think they where installed previously with Visual Studio 2010), while I was missing the Visual C++ 2012 files. Hence I'm arguing that the Visual C++ 2012 didn't come together with Visual Studio 2012, isn't it? I've even tried to install the Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable x64 packages by downloading them and now they are listed in my installed programs 8only the Redistributable, not the Runtime version).
However the prerequisite is still missing. How can I solve this? I've even thought about manually copying the bootstrapper package for Visual C++ 2010 located in the...\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages folder and changing it manually for C++ 2012 but I do not know what I should write in product.xml under <MsiProductCheck Property="VCRedistInstalled" Product=?>. It seems that the product GUID to insert this information can be obtained with Bootstrapper Manager, but this program is throwing a lot of exception and I do not know how to do it. As a second solution is it safe to simply copying the package for Visual C++ 2010 from \\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\Bootstrapper\Packages to \v8.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages?
Go to \v8.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages and make sure you have the vcredist_x86 folder.
In that folder you should have an "en" folder, that should remain there, you are missing
product.xml
vcredist_x86.exe
You can download the required .exe from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=266495&clcid=0x409

My ClickOnce application uses a third party tool that requires the Visual C++ 2005 redistributable. The third party tool will not work if only the VC++ 2008 redistributable is installed. However, in Visual Studio 2008, the ClickOnce prerequisites do not allow a version to be specified for the VC++ redistributable; it will add a VC++ 2008 prerequisite, which makes sense most of the time. However, in this situation, an earlier version is required. ClickOnce is required, so merge modules are out of the question. Any ideas of how to specify the version?
If you can find a machine with VS 2005 installed, the solution shouldn't be too hard. You have the ability to customize what appears in the Prerequisites dialog on the Publish tab of your project.
On a machine with VS 2005 installed, go to \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages and copy the vsredist_x86 folder to the machine you are publishing from.
Rename the folder, call it vsredist_x86_2005 or something similar.
Inside the folder, edit the \en\package.xml file. Change the <String Name="DisplayName"> tag to something that makes sense (Visual C++ 2005 Runtime Libraries (x86)) to differentiate it from the existing 2008 package.
Copy the folder to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages.
Restart Visual Studio if it is open.
Now, when you open the Prerequisites dialog you should see a new entry for the 2005 package. I didn't completely test this solution so I may have missed a few details but hopefully this gets you started.
I believe you can open the manifest file for your app and modify the versions of the redists your app should be linking against. The listings in the manifest should match what you have in your C:\Windows\WinSxS dirs. There is a CodeProject page that gives a good description of using different redistributables.
I just installed Visual Studio 2005. Here is an original bootstrapper:
