Build Error: GenerateFileTask Instantiation Failure

[WenHong-Lau]

I'm encountering a build error in my project that appears to be related to Windows updates. The issue has been reproduced on two separate machines, both occurring after Windows updates were installed.

The "GenerateFileTask" task could not be instantiated from "C:\Users\wenhong.lau.DATGEL\.nuget\packages\uno.dsp.tasks\1.4.0\build\../tools/Uno.Dsp.Tasks.dll". System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Might not be Windows update, not sure what is causing this

Thanks for the report, let's track in #19012.

Hi, @WenHong-Lau. We moved the discussion to ticket # #18986, but I was trying to tag you from there, and for some reason, GitHub did not allow me.

I am looking into this issue, but I have been unable to reproduce it. I have a couple of questions:

What kind of project are you running (Desktop, mobile, WASM, etc.)?
Verion of Uno.SDK you are using?
Current Version of Windows?
Version of Visual Studio?
.net8.0 or .net9.0?

If you create a new Uno Platform project, do you get the same error?

Finally, could you delete the directory C:\Users\wenhong.lau.DATGEL\.nuget\packages\uno.dsp.tasks\ and everything inside it and try rebuilding the project?

I created a new app and upgraded my Windows PC to the latest, currently running on Windows 11 Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100

I created two projects, one using the template in Visual Studio and selected and another from the command line utility. Both projects were:

net9.0, MVUX, XAML, Material, Extension, etc., most options are chosen.

Please reply directly to the issue #18986 so we can continue the conversation there.
