Install Error on Exchange 2013

[mapthegod]

During the Install-TransportAgent and subsequently Enable-TransportAgent i get the following error: [PS] C:\Users\Administrator.XXX\Desktop\dkim-exchange-fix-exchange2013>Install-TransportAgent -Name "Exchange DkimSigner" -TransportAgentFactory "Exchange.DkimSigner.DkimSigningRoutingAgentFactory" -AssemblyPath "C:\Program Files\Exchange DkimSigner\ExchangeDkimSigner.dll" Die Datei oder Assembly "file:///C:\Program Files\Exchange DkimSigner\ExchangeDkimSigner.dll" oder eine Abhängigkeitdavon wurde nicht gefunden.

It seems as though the dll was not compiled right for 2013. I copyed the dev .dll from the Exchange 2013 Server and compiled the project in Visual Studio 2012. The generated .dll works just fine. I can provide the working .dll if required.

Which version of Windows Server do you have? 2008 R2, 2012 or 2012 R2?

Strange. I just revalidated the current .dll on github by using the install script on my Windows Server 2012 R2 with Exchange 2013. I didn't got this error.

This may be related to security settings: Since the .dll was downloaded from the WWW, it may have gotten a "locked" flag. (see http://blog.codingoutloud.com/2010/03/05/the-project-location-is-not-trusted-dealing-with-the-dreaded-unblock/) Can you please verify if this flag is set if you follow the install instructions (use the downloaded dll instead of the one you compiled).

Please let me know if this fixes the error.

I had those ideas myself, didn't work. Also tried changing the Permissions of the dll which also did not help.

Ok, then it may be related to the Exchange Dev dll. Can you confirm that your dev dlls have the same metadata:

And please also send the output of the following command (executed in Exchange Management Shell):

I have Exchange 2013 CU2 running, seems like your DLLs are from Exchange 2013 CU1 or without updates.

[Pro]

Well that's most likely the problem. I've Ex2013 without any CU. So we need an additional version in the build process, this will never end....

Can you please add your compiled .dll to the git repo in a new folder Src/Exchange.DkimSigner/bin/Exchange 2013 CU2, update the install script adding the additional install option and then create a pull request? Thanks!

[mapthegod]

Will do so ;)
