ERROR_SXS_ROOT_MANIFEST_DEPENDENCY_NOT_INSTALLED
ERROR_SXS_ROOT_MANIFEST_DEPENDENCY_NOT_INSTALLED means that a dependency named directly in the application manifest could not be resolved. The failure is at the root manifest level, before Windows can finish building the complete dependency graph.
How to investigate
- Use the SideBySide trace to obtain the full identity of the missing direct dependency.
- Check the application installer or documented prerequisite for the required architecture and version.
- Verify that private deployment includes the manifest and all files required by that assembly, not only a selected DLL.
This differs from a leaf-dependency error because the missing assembly is referenced directly by the application manifest.
