XamlParseException in WPF application - but only on when installed on XP
Solution 1
I had the same problem on Windows XP SP3 and for me the problem was solved by setting the "Copy Local" property of the PresentationFramework.Aero reference to "True".
Solution 2
When referring to the ResourceDictionary for Aero, try specifying the full assembly name, not the short assembly name.
<ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Aero, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35,ProcessorArchitecture=MSIL;component/themes/aero.normalcolor.xaml" />

My WPF application is running fine on Windows 7. Installation on XP machine brings up the following error on startup:
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException
Stack: at System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader.RewrapException(System.Exception, System.Xaml.IXamlLineInfo, System.Uri)
at System.Windows.Markup.WpfXamlLoader.Load(System.Xaml.XamlReader, System.Xaml.IXamlObjectWriterFactory, Boolean, System.Object, System.Xaml.XamlObjectWriterSettings, System.Uri)
at System.Windows.Markup.WpfXamlLoader.LoadBaml(System.Xaml.XamlReader, Boolean, System.Object, System.Xaml.Permissions.XamlAccessLevel, System.Uri)
at System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader.LoadBaml(System.IO.Stream, System.Windows.Markup.ParserContext, System.Object, Boolean)
at System.Windows.Application.LoadComponent(System.Object, System.Uri)
at MyApplication.App.InitializeComponent()
at MyApplication.App.Main()
I think I may be experiencing the problem described in the answer to this question:
XamlParseException on Windows XP
as I am using PresentationFramework.Aero in places. Is there a way to fix this or will I have to remove Aero? This is a pain as I am using some ButtonChromes
TIA
