Somehow changing Assembly Version to 1.6.3 breaks costura?

[KingKDot]

Hi, I'm extremely confused. I'm working on a project and I change the versioning of it by changing the assemblyinfo in all of its .csproj projects. It's always gone smooth until I got to 1.6.3. For some reason 1.6.3 will cause a bad image error within the binary when running standalone but NO other version does. It seems to be a Costura bug but I'm extremely confused.

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.6.3")]

code causing the crash ^

Why?

It's only when the exe is being used standalone and when the assembly version is changed. When the DLL is present (and costura isn't trying to load it) it works fine. Otherwise I get bad image error and the entire thing crashes.

I could be completely wrong about the entire situation but "1.6.3" isn't found anywhere within my project. Tomorrow I will try making a POC in another c# application to see if I can get it working in that. That way I will know for sure.

This issue still persists months later. I closed the issue before because I THOUGHT it was fixed but I was wrong. Currently, I made a commit that broke costura. The commit changed a total of maybe 10 lines of code and didn't interact with anything costura did. Looking into it more, I get a "System.BadImageFormatException" from costura when it tries to load a shared library that is compiled for both net472 and net-9.0windows (.net framework and .net core).

I then moved the compiled Pulsar.Common.dll into the same dir as the exe so it would use that instead of the one inside and it worked. This means that it's an issue with costura. Looking more into it, I used the tool https://github.com/dr4k0nia/Simple-Costura-Decompressor on a broken exe to see if maybe the dll was being messed up. After putting it in the same dir as the exe, it works! This means it's 100% an issue with costura. When I add more code to the shared project the error will tend to go away again. Not sure how this happens but it's an extremely annoying bug.

Also, enabling "CreateTemporaryAssemblies='true'" fixes the issue but I don't want temp files.

Disabling compression also fixes the issue.
