ERROR_SXS_DUPLICATE_TLBID

ERROR_SXS_DUPLICATE_TLBID — The activation context contains two components that publish the same COM type-library identifier.

The application manifest dependency graph resolves to more than one component with the same Type Library ID (TLBID). That makes the COM type library selection ambiguous.

Capture a Side-by-Side trace while starting the application, then compare the dependent assembly identities and their COM/type-library declarations. Do not solve this by copying an arbitrary DLL into the application directory.

What to check

  • Inspect the application manifest and any app-local assembly manifests for duplicate COM type-library declarations.
  • Make sure the application deploys one compatible version of the COM component for the selected processor architecture.
  • Repair or reinstall the owning application when the conflicting manifests were installed by a product setup package.
