The path is not of a legal form

Hi
Costura.Fody have used the program for embedded resources to the final exe file generation and its implementation after the following message shows:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I used the following code in the program:
stiReport1.Compile();
stiViewerControl1.Report = stiReport1;

I have used versions of Stimulsoft Reports 2015.2

Thanks for the answer
In the same message indicates the version of Stimulsoft Reports 2016.3
Please explain the reason for problem.
Thankful

Hello,

We see the place where the problem arises.
When the report is compiled, the system assemblies are loaded, which are specified in the ReferencesAssemblies.
But you use the utility Fody/Costura, which places assemblies in resources and change loading process.
Perhaps this interferes with normal loading.
To understand the reason - we need debug on the source code, we need your project.

Thank you.

Thank you for your description
Sample Project

Hi
About the problem after reviewing the results of reach?

[Alex K.]

Hello,

The issue is fixed. The fix will be next release.
Also, in this case, you need to set CalculationMode = StiCalculationMode.Interpretation for the report.

Thank you.
