Windows 10: The Referenced Assembly could not be found.

So I recently bought Age of Empires III off of steam for my PC. When I tried to load it up, it said "An app on your PC requires the following Windows Feature, and it said I needed DirectPlay. I clicked install. After a while, it came up with an error. I searched how to fix it online, but all that came up was about how you needed to enable DirectPlay onTurn Windows Features On and Off to run AOE III. After going to it, and checking the box to enable DirectPlay, it sits on a screen that says "Searching for Required Files" for about 10 minutes, then comes up with error code 0x80073701, The Referenced Assembly Could Not Be Found. After searching the Microsoft site, I'm pretty sure there's nothing on there about that error code. I saw some stuff about having to install msxml4.msi from the Service Pack 3, but that still hasn't fixed it. Every time I launch the game, the game window stops responding, and it brings up the windows features tab that says the same thing about how an app on my pc requires DirectPlay to be enabled, although my PC isn't letting me enable it due to missing some sort of file or something...

Assemblies verification skipping enabled by default for x64 processes

Hi all,

I was preparing a development environment on some computers and for this reason I have started to work with delay signed .Net assemblies. Executing the following command (64 bit process):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6 Tools\x64>sn -Vl

I have received this result on all Windows 10 computers (but not Windows 8):

Assembly/Strong Name Users

===========================================

*,* All users

Executing the same command using x86 process, the skipping list is empty.

According to my investigation, it seems that this setting is vulnerability as all x64 assemblies signatures are not verified.

To disable it is enough to run the command "sn -Vx" but I'm wondering if it is a problem on my own configured Windows 10 machine or is it a general problem ?

What is the expected default .Net assemblies verification skipping list ?

Best regards,

Maurizio Romano
