Invalid Archive Type on SourceCode.Workflow.Client

I have a custom .NET project that references some DLLs. Recently, I've been encountering the following error: "Invalid archive type" when executing OpenWorklist() using SourceCode.Workflow.Client.dll. The issue is that it works fine on other PCs, but not on mine. After researching online, I found suggestions that the issue could be a bit-version mismatch between the DLLs. To resolve this, I upgraded the K2 version on the server from 5.6 to 5.8 and copied the new DLLs into the project, but it still isn't working. The project works fine on every other PC except mine, and I can't figure out what the issue is.

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

Try searching on the machines where this works for the workflow.client.dll and make sure there isn't more than one of them. It is possible you took the wrong one - there are also dependencies to this dll - I think you also need the right version of HostClientAPI

If the ‘bin’ folder of your project contains the version matching the server, you may have to check your GAC to see if perhaps contains an older version.

Another thing to check is your K2 connection string, perhaps it is pointing to a different server than you think or has a hosts file entry that is pointing it somewhere else.
