    copied!<p>I am working on <a href="https://code.google.com/p/autofac/" rel="nofollow">the Autofac project</a> trying to convert all of our common logic into <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg597391.aspx" rel="nofollow">Portable Class Libraries</a> and adding platform-specific libraries for specific functionality.</p> <p>My development machine is Windows 8 Enterprise (64-bit) and I have VS 2012 Ultimate installed with all the trimmings. I don't have any previous .NET framework stuff installed, any additional tools, or any extra PCL-specific tooling. <strong>It's a clean, new VM with just base stuff.</strong> Everything builds and tests run fine in this configuration.</p> <p>When I attempt to run <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997356.aspx" rel="nofollow">secannotate.exe</a> on a .NET 4.5 (full profile) library that depends on one of the Portable Class Libraries, <strong>I get an error indicating I need mscorlib 2.0.5.0</strong>.</p> <p>Here is an example error. The PCL is Autofac.dll; the .NET 4.5 full profile library is Autofac.Configuration.dll.</p> <pre><code>Error running annotator: Could not find referenced assembly 'Assembly(Name=mscorlib, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e)'.

You'll see it references mscorlib 2.0.5.0.</p> <p>Some searching leads me to believe that this is a reference to the old Silverlight assembly version, but PCL projects don't have specific version references so I can only imagine this is getting put in by the VS 2012 PCL tools. Other people seem to have fixed similar issues by installing a .NET framework update that came out before VS 2012. <strong>I can't actually find mscorlib 2.0.5.0 anywhere on my machine.</strong></p> <p>Looking in dotPeek at the Autofac.dll assembly I built, I see it references:</p> <ul> <li>mscorlib 2.0.5.0</li> <li>System 2.0.5.0</li> <li>System.ComponentModel.Composition 2.0.5.0</li> <li>System.Core 2.0.5.0</li> </ul> <p>And, again, it's just a PCL project, not directly referencing anything. Literally - there's <strong>not a single reference line</strong> in the .csproj file.</p> <p><strong>How do I resolve this secannotate problem?</strong> Is there something additional I need to install? Is there a parameter I should be adding to the secannotate command line?</p>
