Service cannot be started. System.IO.FileLoadException: Mixed mode assembly is built against version
'v2.0.50727' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration
information.

I've created a file called Microsoft.HomeServer.Archive.TransferService.exe.config and set the startup/supportedRuntime as follows:

The service starts now.

Oops:

<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>

Even though the service has started I still get the following error when trying to launch TV Archive from within Windows Media Center:

INVALID APPLICATION

Unable to launch "TV Archive"

Checking the Application log, I see Warnings such as the following that seem to correspond to the failed attempt to open the TV Archive:

All issues solved by this post. Thanks!
