If you did deploy this application into your server, it's possible that the *.config files in folder \bin\roslyn were deleted.

Then review if exist the files like:

csc.exe.config
csi.exe.config
vbc.exe.config
VBCSCompiler.exe.config

These files can be variate depending on your project references.

The version of the Microsoft Net Compilers  3 0  used in my project was incompatible with the version of  NET installed on the server   I downgraded the version to 2 1 and everything work fine now   I guess it s related to the different versions of  Net framework  guessing  NET Core  installed on the server

I got the same error  came out of nowhere  After several hours of trying all the solutions mentioned here and on other forums  what worked for me was simple  Clean Solution  and  Rebuild  in VS2015

I have crawled through a lot of blog posts including a few Stack nbsp Overflow pots  and I already had everything in place what these posts suggested  see below  when I got this error    My app pool is running under ApplicationPoolIdentity Load user Profile was set to True in Process Model section IIS AppPool DefaultAppPool has full permissions on temp ASP NET files folder   Finally I found some clues in the below mentioned blog post  It looks like there is heap contention with the same user account  So I changed the app pool identity to LocalSystem  for the app which is failing with this error -  and my app started working fine    See blog post C  compiler or Visual Basic  Net compilers fail with error code -1073741502 when generating assemblies for your ASP net site   Note  LocalSystem account will not have much permissions  In my case my application does not need any special permissions  So I was fine  If your application needs special permissions try configuring a custom account

OK  after days struggling with this issue  I finally fixed it    Not by clearing ASP NET temp Not by reinstalling the  NET framework    Simple    I changed the application pool identity from  Local system  to  ApplicationPoolIdentity    Apparently there was a permission error with my local system that the C  compiler  csc exe  could not access some resources and source codes   In order to change your AppPool identity follow steps given here  http   learn iis net page aspx 624 application-pool-identities

I had this error message and for me the solution was to install Dot Net Framework 4 6  While my project targeted 4 5 2

If you get the error  An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request  Compiler Error Message  The compiler failed with error code 255    Try to terminate the processes  VBCSCompiler exe   VBCSCompiler exe can also be the problem if your application can not build due to the fact that some packages can not be transferred to the bin folder

The answers provided are not the solution  The  NET 6  stuff is pretty different from what we used to  A lot has changed  from having to deal with portable libraries to Visual Studio 2015 installing an old compiler  it cost me four hours cracking my head    The long story short  Stack Overflow question How do I use C  6 with a Web Site project type   You need to install the C   NET compiler  now runs as a service bla bla bla   and you need to run updates on NuGet to get the latest everything  before trying anything else    The compiler must be installed on the project your solution runs from  so your website or your main project your application starts from  if you have multiple projects     Once you install that then sort out your web config referencing any portable libraries  and delete both the bin and obj folder  to avoid works on my computer nightmare   It should just run  But be patient  what happens on your machine may vary as much as the answers above  Most of the answers above hide other problems  It may work for a while  then boom  compiler error  I had a few pages working  then some pages started failing because of some packages that have started using portable libraries

I just ran into this on  NET 4 6 1 and it ultimately had a simple solution - I removed  actually commented out  the  section in the web config and the web forms application came back to life  See what-exactly-does-system-codedom-compilers-do-in-web-config-in-mvc-5 for more info   It worked for me

What worked for me    It seems if you install  or a dependent package installs  Microsoft CodeDom Providers DotNetCompilerPlatform NuGet package it makes some web config transforms that allow you to use C 7 x features in ASP NET Razor pages  Whilst I found these worked fine on my local machine they didn t work on our server  even when the compiler was in the  bin  folder    The solution was to locate the element below and remove completely from web config     lt system codedom gt       lt compilers gt         lt compiler language  c  cs csharp  extension   cs  type  Microsoft CodeDom Providers DotNetCompilerPlatform CSharpCodeProvider  Microsoft CodeDom Providers DotNetCompilerPlatform  Version 1 0 0 0  Culture neutral  PublicKeyToken 31bf3856ad364e35  warningLevel  4  compilerOptions   langversion 6  nowarn 1659 1699 1701    gt         lt compiler language  vb vbs visualbasic vbscript  extension   vb  type  Microsoft CodeDom Providers DotNetCompilerPlatform VBCodeProvider  Microsoft CodeDom Providers DotNetCompilerPlatform  Version 1 0 0 0  Culture neutral  PublicKeyToken 31bf3856ad364e35  warningLevel  4  compilerOptions   langversion 14  nowarn 41008  define  MYTYPE   amp quot Web  amp quot   optionInfer     gt       lt  compilers gt     lt  system codedom gt

If you are still struggling to solve this issue  even after all options  then try to find application which is running and taking huge memory   In my case it was an application which was having more than 100 instances running due to some error and that was taking at least 20 MB per application so around 2 GB   After I killed the few applications and memory was released my site was back online

User · Answer

Cause  I have noticed that when I clean my project or clean one of the dependent projects and then hit refresh a few times on the page showing the site then it causes this error  It seems like it tries to load run a broken missing DLL project somehow   Rename the project   s IIS directory to something different and with new name it loads fine  again providing project is built first OK then run otherwise it causes the same issue

I got this kind of error too  but the problem was very different explained here  So in my case I got compiler error from temp file that I was using non existing namespace like   using ImaginaryNamespaces    I was sure that code  using ImaginaryNamespaces   dosn t exists in my solution so of course I doubt cache problem  Finally I figured out that the temporary file was some generated source file from configs  My Views Web Config had a line    lt add namespace  ImaginaryNamespaces   gt    After removing this it worked  So I recommend to make sure that there is not any data in configs that might be related to the compiler error

I removed Roslyn related packages by NuGet and it does work now    Roslyn related packages    Microsoft CodeDom Providers DotNetCompilerPlatform Microsoft Net Compilers    P S  My local IIS doesn t have any problem with Roslyn but as I publish the project on the server  this is why I don t think the server supports Roslyn   it shows the following error message      Compilation Error

This kind of errors appears  strange  because they are related to the  NET Framework dynamic source code generation and compilation feature  and  in my opinion  the various errors generated are not reported with all the information needed to understand the real root cause  IIS will report only a generic failure like  Configuration Error  or  Compilation Error   the command line of the dynamic compilation  with reference to temporary files created on-the-fly   and an error code   Since the error is generic  by searching it on Internet  and in answers to this question   you ll find several different solutions that solved the issue for other people  but will not necessarily solve the issue for your specific case   For the specific error reported in this question  -1073741502   the root cause appears to be a  DLL Initialization Failed  error during the compilation and from the following article it is likely to happen when the system is low on what is called Desktop Heap memory  https   blogs msdn microsoft com friis 2012 09 19 c-compiler-or-visual-basic-net-compilers-fail-with-error-code-1073741502-when-generating-assemblies-for-your-asp-net-site     The same blog post suggests to change the app pool account to give more  Desktop Heap memory  or to increase it by changing Windows registry  And the solution to change the app pool account is the one accepted for this answer  https   stackoverflow com a 6929129 1996150  Since the  dynamic compilation  of ASP NET pages appears to be not mandatory if all the code is already compiled within Visual Studio  in many cases similar errors can be solved by manually removing the element   lt system codedom gt   from web config file or removing the Microsoft CodeDom Providers DotNetCompilerPlatform NuGet package  see https   stackoverflow com a 49903967 1996150
