For this first leap to semantic versioning, where the major version changes to 10 (from 9), there are no backward incompatible changes. […]
The “An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.” indicates that your program attempted to load a win32 assembly on an x64 Windows OS, or the reverse.

When Chilkat Zip writes a .zip, it first writes to a temporary file. (The location of the temporary file is controlled by the zip.TempDir property.) After the .zip is successfully written to the temp file, it is then renamed (i.e. moved) to the output filename. The reason for doing this is to safeguard an existing […]

To get the actual cause of the error, go to IE’s Tools/Internet Options menu, and on the advanced tab, uncheck “Show friendly HTTP error messages.”
This error occurs if trying to load the ChilkatDotNet.dll (for .NET 1.0/1.1) within the .NET 2.0/3.5 Framework. The solution is to download the Chilkat .NET component for the .NET 2.0/3.5 Framework. The name the correct DLL for .NET 2.0/3.5 is ChilkatDotNet2.dll.
If the error message “No socket exists for sending” is found in the LastErrorText, it means that the component is not connected to the server. For example, if Ftp2.PutFile is called to upload a file, but Ftp2.Connect is never called to establish the connection, the “No socket exists for sending” would be found in the […]
