filing this as "NEW" because 2 people reported it so it's confirmed. (i don't actually know how to use this CLI stuff) from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61503#c27 : jvanderduim@eases.nl 2014-02-18 09:39:16 CET When accessing libreoffice from our program via cli .net integration. I get the following message. Could not load file or assembly 'cli_cppuhelper, Version=1.0.22.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ce2cb7e279207b9e' or one of its dependencies. Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A) the current theory is that this is caused by signing the CLI DLLs with sn.exe (or whatever it does) and then re-signing them in release mode like every other DLL and thus invalidating the sn.exe.
there was just a commit to the signing script: commit 77e48e23641846653691e54f315080c8d8a2d898 Author: Andras Timar <andras.timar@collabora.com> Date: Wed Feb 19 14:40:45 2014 +0100 use 'ne' for string comparison ... but the tinderboxes don't actually do this signing step, so it's difficult to test whether this helps.
