Vista - June CTP -> Window Icon Not Working

Hello,

I just installed the June CTP. Whenever I run my app, it immediately throws
an exception because of the Icon setting below:

<Window x:Class="Contax.ContaxWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Contax"
Title="Contax" Height="700" Width="1000"
Icon="AppImages/contax.ico"
>

This worked fine in the Beta2 build. I searched but could not find any
information about a change made to this functionality between Beta2 and June
CTP.

Here is part of the exception message:

{System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Cannot create instance of
'ContaxWindow' defined in assembly 'Contax, Version=1.0.2373.26874,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Exception has been thrown by the
target of an invocation. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --->
System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Cannot convert string
'AppImages/contax.ico' in attribute 'Icon' to object of type
'System.Windows.Media.ImageSource'. Mismatched versions of
PresentationCore.dll, Milcore.dll, WindowsCodecs.dll, or D3d9.dll. Check that
these DLLs come from the same source. Error at object 'Contax.ContaxWindow'.
---> System.IO.FileLoadException: Mismatched versions of
PresentationCore.dll, Milcore.dll, WindowsCodecs.dll, or D3d9.dll. Check that
these DLLs come from the same source. --->
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x88982F0B): Exception from
HRESULT: 0x88982F0B

I wiped out the assembly references and added them back in, because the
error message indicated that the assembly versions were out of sync, but that
didn't help.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

I should have searched a little harder before posting about the problem. The
solution can be found, of all places, in the ReadMe for the June CTP -
specifically here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvis...lt.aspx#topic2

Note, I only uninstalled the .NET Framework 3.0 (not the SDK or Orcas) and
it worked fine.
