ERROR_SXS_PRIVATE_MANIFEST_CROSS_PATH_WITH_REPARSE_POINT
ERROR_SXS_PRIVATE_MANIFEST_CROSS_PATH_WITH_REPARSE_POINT means that Windows probed for a private manifest across a path containing an unsupported reparse point. Deployment layouts that use junctions, symbolic links, or other redirected path components can therefore change SxS resolution behavior.
What to check
- Record the exact application and manifest paths from the SideBySide trace and inspect each path component for reparse-point behavior.
- Deploy the application and its private assemblies in a supported ordinary directory layout when possible.
- Avoid relying on a development-machine junction or link layout as part of the production SxS binding design.
The error concerns the path used during private-manifest probing, not merely the presence of a manifest file.
