Can't publish working app (local)

I followed your advice to the letter.

Still no happiness.  I am now receiving an error IIS 502.5 Error Process Failure.

I’ve attached images of my deployment hoping you might spot an error of my ways and point it out to me.

I also changed the application by following the Wisej video whereby the person installed Wisj into the VS 2022, and then created a “YoutubeDemonstration” application, compiled and web deployed it.  (I had to add the Wisej DLLs you mentioned as they did not deploy with the app)

Web.config

<?xml version=”1.0″?>

That error means your Wisej.NET runtime assemblies (like Wisej.Framework.dll) were not copied to your MochaHost server.

After publishing locally, open your publish folder and make sure these dlls exist in the bin folder:
Wisej.Framework.dll
Wisej.Web.Ext.*.dll (if you used any extensions)
Wisej.Hybrid.dll (for UserDesktop)

In your .csproj, ensure Wisej references are set with:

<PackageReference Include=”Wisej-3″ Version=”3.5.*” />
and not as <Reference Include=”Wisej-3″ />.

Then in the Publish Profile (.pubxml), confirm this property exists:

<CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>true</CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>
That forces the Wisej assemblies to be published to the server.

Hope this helps,
