Symptoms

After you install an ASP.NET update on a computer that is running a Microsoft Visual Studio LightSwitch 2011 two-tier desktop application, or if Internet Information Services (IIS) is hosting the Microsoft Visual Studio LightSwitch 2011 server, the server may crash. When this problem occurs, users of the application may experience data load failures in the client program.

Cause

This issue occurs because of missing assembly data that is required for the .NET Framework’s Assembly Unification feature to work correctly. Therefore, the application domains load two versions of the same assembly. 

Note This issue can occur only during the time between installing an ASP.NET update and the next restart of the application or server.
