Whenever you run into problems with SxS, e.g. because an assembly cannot be loaded because of missing dependencies or similar, using the tracing tool which SxS offers can help you a lot. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s how to use it.<\/p>\n
You start tracing by calling the following command:<\/p>\n
sxstrace Trace \u00e2\u20ac\u201clogfile:sxs.etl<\/pre>\nThis will keep the tracer running until you actually press enter. If you want to stop it through issuing another command, you should call<\/p>\n
sxstrace Trace \u00e2\u20ac\u201clogfile:sxs.etl -nostop<\/pre>\nThis will exit as soon as the tracing session was created.<\/p>\n
Stop Tracing<\/h2>\n
In case you were using the nostop option, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have to stop tracing through the following command.<\/p>\n
sxstrace StopTrace<\/pre>\nTransforming the Traces<\/h2>\n
As with most traces, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll need to transform the traces from the raw format in the ETL file to a human readable format. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do this with the following command.<\/p>\n
sxstrace Parse \u00e2\u20ac\u201clogfile:sxs.etl \u00e2\u20ac\u201coutfile:sxs.log<\/pre>\nIn the out file you should then be able to easily figure out if your problem is related to SxS or not.<\/p>\n
