STATUS_SXS_IDENTITIES_DIFFERENT

The expected and actual assembly identities differ

STATUS_SXS_IDENTITIES_DIFFERENT means that two identities being compared are not the same. A dependency reference must exactly match the corresponding defining assembly identity where the manifest rules require it; a near match in assembly name is not enough.

Compare every identity field, including architecture, language, version and public-key token. This differs from STATUS_SXS_MANIFEST_IDENTITY_SAME_BUT_CONTENTS_DIFFERENT: that status finds equal identities with conflicting content, while this one finds different identities before content equivalence is assumed.

What to inspect

Collect both complete identities from the dependency reference and the resolved assembly manifest.
Check architecture and language before replacing runtimes; x86 and amd64 assemblies can share a familiar product name but are not interchangeable.
Correct the manifest reference or deploy the exact assembly it names instead of changing only a displayed DLL filename.
