Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You run an XAML browser application (XBAP) on a computer that has the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 and the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed.
  • The target framework for the application is the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 or the .NET Framework 3.5.

If you try to print in the application, the application might encounter a DllNotFoundException exception and then crashes.

Cause

This issue occurs because of a C runtime loading issue.

The .NET Framework 3.0 and the .NET Framework 3.5 use C runtime version 8.0, and the .NET Framework 4.0 uses C runtime version 10.0. When the target framework is the .NET Framework 3.0 or the .NET Framework 3.5, the application has to load the version 8.0 before load the C runtime 10.0. However, both runtimes are used for the same application. Therefore, the issue that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section occurs.
