Epic Fail! TinyIoCResolutionException

All of a sudden my Sonarr quit working and displayed this error when I tried to run it again.

Epic Fail!
TinyIoCResolutionException: Unable to resolve type:
NzbDrone.Core.Messaging.Events.IHandle1[[NzbDrone.Core.Lifecycle.ApplicationStartedEvent, NzbDrone.Core, Version=2.0.0.3953, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]

I did some research via Google and wound up in these forums. I found a couple of other topics like this one. One pointed to repairing .NET. I tried that to no avail.

However, while downloading the .NET repair tool, I noticed that there was a .NET 4.5 out there. The documentation I’ve seen for Sonarr says you need v 4. I decided what the heck, and manually updated .NET in place to v 4.5.

This seems to have solved the problem.

So, for anyone else out there that hits this problem, and your search leads you here, give this solution a try:

  1. Make a list of the series you have Sonarr monitoring so you can reenter them.
    If you can’t run Sonarr to make a list of them, look under C:\ProgramDataNzbDrone\MediaCover
    and under each of the subdirectories, you will find the images displayed when you look at your list of series.
    You can right-click and click Preview to see which series it is. go through all of them and you won’t forget
    one for your backup list.
  2. Uninstall Sonarr.
  3. Get into your Task Manager and disable NzbDrone under the processes tab.
  4. Reboot
  5. Update your .NET to 4.5 (or newer if there is one when you read this)
  6. Install and configure the latest version of Sonarr
  7. Reenter your favorite series and, hopefully, your Sonarr will start monitoring them again like mine did.

Good luck and have fun

What Sonarr needs is a patch to .net 4.0 (that patch was released like 4 years ago), but yes, 4.5 will do :slight_smile:

Also you don’t need to manually reenter your series, just preserve the backups & stuff in C:\ProgramData\NzbDrone.

I’ve opened a global topic for it: Sonarr not starting on Windows since v2.0.0.3953? Read this

Ah! Excellent thought. Thanks for making it even easier for folks that need this in the future. :slight_smile:
