STATUS_SXS_IDENTITY_PARSE_ERROR
The textual assembly identity is malformed
STATUS_SXS_IDENTITY_PARSE_ERROR is about parsing a textual representation of an assembly identity. Typical failures include a missing attribute name or value, a malformed separator, or an invalid arrangement of unnamed values. The result is not yet a version conflict or a failed assembly lookup because the identity cannot be decoded reliably.
Treat an identity string as structured input rather than a display label. Compare the parsed fields with the assemblyIdentity element in the manifest and log a redacted copy of the exact string that reached the activation-context code.
What to inspect
- Check commas, quotes, equals signs and empty components in generated identity strings.
- Verify that the producer and consumer use the same identity syntax rather than mixing display text with manifest XML attributes.
- Once parsing succeeds, validate identity values and then resolve the dependency as separate steps.
