Why can't Jenkins find this .NET AssemblyFoldersEx registry key?

Question

So I have a project that builds fine on my development machine, but not on my CI server (Jenkins).

Jenkins can\'t find my Primary Interop Assemblies even after I\'ve cop

Answer 1

After a long and laborious search, I found that I have some "PIA" redist.exe's on my developer box, at the following location:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Merge Modules

I have several of these, due to multiple versions of Visual Studio being installed on my machine. I'm sure I probably only needed to run one of them.. Regardless, I double-clicked each .exe (I had a window on my CI server that was peaking through to my dev workstation) and installed each onto my Jenkins server.

Problem solved!
