Error building Visual Studio 2010 Silverlight 4 projects on Windows 7 with XP Mode
- by Kevin Dente
I installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 in an XP Mode VM on Windows 7. Then I created a trivial Silverlight 4 (beta) project and tried to build it. I get the following error:
Error 1 The "ValidateXaml" task failed
unexpectedly.
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not
load file or assembly
'file://\tsclient\d\Users\me\Documents\Visual
Studio
2010\Projects\SilverlightApplication2\SilverlightApplication2\obj\Debug\SilverlightApplication2.dll'
or one of its dependencies. Operation
is not supported. (Exception from
HRESULT: 0x80131515)

--- System.NotSupportedException: An attempt was made to load an assembly
from a network location which would
have caused the assembly to be
sandboxed in previous versions of the
.NET Framework. This release of the
.NET Framework does not enable CAS
policy by default, so this load may be
dangerous. If this load is not
intended to sandbox the assembly,
please enable the
loadFromRemoteSources switch. See

I believe this is related to the fact that XP Mode redirects the My Documents folder to the host, turning it into a network share location, and some sort of CAS / security policy is being triggered.
Anyone know how to fix it?
