When I add multiple “Assembly Search Paths” in FB5, each directory is separated by a “,” this causes the search to file. When I manually replace the “,” with a “;” the multiple assembly paths are correctly parsed by the compiler.Could this be related by me running a Norwegian Locale? (I believe the norwegian list separator is “;”, that was why I changed it… )I am running FB5.0.0.60, but this error has been here since FB4.

I have the exact same problem. i see in the .rsp file that is passed to the vbc compiler the commas are there…i am in the US with US locale.  
using fb 5.0.0.60  
  
i’m 3 days into my 30 day trial…hopefully this can be fixed before my 30 days run out so i can demo a clean build to management. FB is basically unusable for us while this bug exists.

Hi guys,  
  
Thanks for reporting this. We’ll get onto it right away. Would it be possible for you to please both send us your FinalBuilder project files, as well as the [VB.Net](http://VB.Net) project’s .rsp file (ProjName.rsp) which is the file that FinalBuilder passes to the [VB.Net](http://VB.Net) compiler. Send the files to [support@finalbuilder.com](mailto:support@finalbuilder.com).  
  
Also, which version of .NET are you using?  
  
Thanks.  
  
- Angus

i should add theat even when i manually edit the liblocations property in the propertygrid in the IDE and replace the comma with a semi-colon, i still get build errors.  
  
My project folders are not structured well…(was in place before i started this job)…so there may be an additional issue there…my folder structure is as follows.  
  
SourceCodeRoot  
 -\>Folder1  
 -\>SubFolder1  
 -\>vb Project1  
 -\>Folder2  
  
 -\>SubFolder2  
 -\>vbproject2 (references vbproject1…but vbc compiler cannot resolve the reference)  
i will include the build log when i send the fb files to support.

Hi guys,  
  
I fixed the search paths so that you can now specify more than one (before you could, but you needed to use a semicolon. Now you can use a semicolon or a comma.) When you get a chance, please try this test build and let us know how you go:
