We are deploying our ASP.NET 2 website to an Windows 2003 32bit server.
De website uses leadtools v16, the rasterimage functionality (loading, saving, and resizing).

Upon loading the home page of the website (which does not uses leadtools functionality), the following exception is thrown:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) (*****\web.config line 113)

We are putting the following dll's in the bin folder:

Leadtools.dll

Leadtools.Codecs.dll

Leadtools.Codecs.*.dll

If I remove all Leadtools.Codecs.*.dll except the png,bmp,gif,tif and j2k dll, the exception is not thrown. However, the website doesn't function correct (imageformats aren't recognized).

If I put the complete redist folder in the bin (including unmanaged dll's), the same exception is thrown.

What are we missing?

The problem could be caused by the presence of different versions of LEADTOOLS files on your system. Please check that your system PATH and GAC do not contain any other versions of Leadtools.*.DLL files.

I've searched the complete server (it is a clean install of windows server 2003, no former leadtools versions are ever used on it) and I only found leadtools v16 dll's...

I've nailed the problem to the following codecs files:

Leadtools.Codecs.Crw.dll
Leadtools.Codecs.Dcs.dll
Leadtools.Codecs.Ecw.dll
Leadtools.Codecs.Fpx.dll
Leadtools.Codecs.Kdc.dll
Leadtools.Codecs.Pcd.dll
Leadtools.Codecs.Sid.dll

However, the point in code where the exception is thrown doesn't do anything with the codecs. So it is strange that the exception is thrown at all.

But the problem goes away when the dll's are removed from the bin folder.

Is this a known problem in leadtools?

These codec DLLs mostly require other third party DLLs to be included in the Bin folder, for example the "Leadtools.Codecs.Ecw.dll" requires the following additional DLLs:
NCScnet.dll
NCSEcw.dll
NCSEcwC.dll
NCSUtil.dll

For full details, see the help topic "Files to be Included with Your Application"

I understand, but how come that although I'm not using the codecs they are still loaded?

Determining the format of an image file is done dynamically at run time. For example, you could take a Windows bitmap file and change its extension from .BMP to .JPG, and LEADTOOLS will correctly recognize it's a BMP and not JPEG.
This is done by loading different codec DLLs to examine the file. If your application is not going to support certain formats such as ECW, do NOT deploy the codecs for these formats. This way you will save both disk space and loading time for other formats you want to support.
