We have a system that sends lots of RPS to prefectures of several cities of Brazil. The system was sending the batches of RPS without any problems, but last Friday (11/03/2016) it stopped working and returned the message: Malformed reference element . We have identified that this error occurs at the time of signing the XML file ( signedXml.ComputeSignature () ).
To resolve this problem, we uninstalled all the Windows updates from the previous day (10/03/2016) regarding: Security Update for Microsoft Windows - KB3140735, KB3140410; KB3139940; KB3139929; KB3139914; KB3139852; KB3139398; KB3138962; KB3138910; KB3135988; KB3135983 and Update for Microsoft Windows - KB3138612; KB3121255; KB3118401; KB2952664. (Note: We have not identified which of these updates has generated this problem.)
I hope this tip helps anyone with this problem.
Settings I am using: OS: Windows 7 32-bit Development Platform: VB.Net - Visual Studio 2010 (Framework 3.5)
If anyone knows how to solve this problem, without needing to uninstall the windows updates, I appreciate it.
Thank you. Alexandre Melo
