Windows 10 error - System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005)

[luecano]

Hello, I've build a simple winforms app but I'm getting this error when the app is deployed to other Windows 10 machines (both VMs and real laptops):

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005)
...
System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
jsreport.Local.Internal.BinaryProcess.<InnerExecute>d__18.MoveNext()mark
...

The app works fine on Windows 7 maquines and locally (I'm running Windows 10 x64 to code).

I've created x86/x64 versions using NET Framework 4.5.2 and 4.6.1 but none of those builds work on Windows 10.

Here's my code:

using jsreport.Binary;
using jsreport.Local;
using jsreport.Types;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApp1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private async void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var rs = new LocalReporting().UseBinary(JsReportBinary.GetBinary()).AsUtility().Create();

            var report = await rs.RenderAsync(new RenderRequest()
            {
                Template = new Template()
                {
                    Recipe = Recipe.PhantomPdf,
                    Engine = Engine.None,
                    Content = "Hello from pdf"
                }
            });

            using (var fs = File.Create("out.pdf"))
            {
                report.Content.CopyTo(fs);
            }
        }
    }
}

The same code works for me on Win 10 x64.
Could you please try to download and run manually the jsreport binary from console on the target machine? Try to render something with --keepAlive. It could give us some better error showing what is wrong.

Here's the cmd output:

C:\Users\Username\Desktop>jsreport render --template.engine=none --template.recipe=phantom-pdf --template.content=test.html --out=out.pdf --keepAlive
instance has been daemonized and initialized successfully (pid: 3948)
rendering has finished with errors:
An error occurred while trying to execute the command:
{ [Error: getaddrinfo ENOENT localhost:49670]
  code: 'ENOENT',
  errno: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
  hostname: 'localhost',
  host: 'localhost',
  port: '49670' }

[jan_blaha]

Thank you. That helps a lot.
It seems that the machine cannot bind to the localhost network address. Doesn't the target machine include localhost in the hosts file?

New Win10x64 VM, same error:

This is different error

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform.

I've seen such message always when running on x32 windows. You are sure you have x64 right?
However the problem can be of course something else.

Finally figured out what was missing. WinForms and WPF deployments need Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (both x86/x64) to be installed on Windows 10 before calling jsreport.

Not sure about why Windows 7 runs the app without problems and Windows 10 fails but in my case after installing vsredist everything works as expected.

FYI there are 4 versions of Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (we only need one of those):

Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable
Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3
Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015
Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 Update 1

Cheers.

Thank you for sharing it. Will keep that in mind.
