Remove xmlns on <probing> element

[tmakin]

I have just installed PrettyBin on a .NET 4.6 project using VS2015. The lib directory was being created correctly but the assemblies were not being resolved when I tried to run the app.

The nuget package created the following line in my app.config

<probing privatePath="lib;libs" xmlns="" />

I had to remove the xmlns attribute in order to get it to work:

<probing privatePath="lib;libs"/>

Thank you. I was struggling to find why the pack URIs in my WPF application were not working until I saw this!

I found a different behavior using VS2017. I created a wpf project and it is functional.

  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <probing privatePath="lib;libs" />
      <probing privatePath="lib;libs" xmlns="" />
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>

I just experienced this issue and fixed it by deleting the xmlns="" like @tmakin did.

I actually found this Issue on GitHub after I solved it myself. I went through the source and because it is so well documented, I was able to find what went wrong. Great work @slmjy !

I had the same problem, but luckily I solved it.

<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-12.0.0.0" newVersion="12.0.0.0" />
  </dependentAssembly>
  <probing privatePath="lib" xmlns="" />
</assemblyBinding>
