Replication Dashboard Fails to Open — Missing OWIN.dll in Replication Folder

Environment

6.6 .9351 integrated with SAP 


Problem Statement:

When attempting to open the Replication Dashboard or start the replication service, the following error is displayed:

Could not load file or assembly 'Owin, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f0ebd12fd5e55cc5'
or one of its dependencies.
The system cannot find the file specified.

Resolution/Work Around: 

Step 1 — Verify the Missing DLL

Navigate to the iVend Replication folder on the affected store server:

C:\Program Files (x86)\CitiXsys\iVend\Replication\

Check whether Owin.dll exists in this directory. If it is missing, proceed to Step 2.

Also check that the file has not been quarantined by antivirus:

  • Open your antivirus management console
  • Check the quarantine list for Owin.dll
  • If found, restore and whitelist it

Step 2 — Copy Owin.dll From a Working Store or Installation Source

Obtain the correct Owin.dll from one of the following sources:

Option A — Copy from a working store: Navigate to the same Replication folder path on any other store that is running correctly on the same iVend patch version:

C:\Program Files (x86)\CitiXsys\iVend\Replication\Owin.dll

Copy this file to the same location on the affected store.

Option B — Copy from the iVend HO server: The HO server's iVend installation directory also contains this file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\CitiXsys\iVend\HO\Replication\Owin.dll
