Upgraded application from 8.10 to 8.13.4, observed application is not starting on IIS

After upgrading the application to support the latest IKVM version (from 8.10 to 8.13.4), the build completed successfully. However, upon deploying the application on IIS, the following error was observed at runtime.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed to parse configuration class [com.XXXX.XXX.XXXXX.XXXX.XXXX]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [org/springframework/context/annotation/AspectJAutoProxyRegistrar, XXXXX, Version=2/4/2/0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=13235d27fcbfff58.class] cannot be opened because it does not exist at org.springframework.context.annotation.ConfigurationClassParser.parse(ConfigurationClassParser.java:188) at org.springframework.context.annotation.ConfigurationClassPostProcessor.processConfigBeanDefinitions(ConfigurationClassPostProcessor.java:331) at org.springframework.context.annotation.ConfigurationClassPostProcessor.postProcessBeanDefinitionRegistry(ConfigurationClassPostProcessor.java:247) at org.springframework.context.support.PostProcessorRegistrationDelegate.invokeBeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessors(PostProcessorRegistrationDelegate.java:311) at org.springframework.context.support.PostProcessorRegistrationDelegate.invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(PostProcessorRegistrationDelegate.java:112) at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(AbstractApplicationContext.java:748) at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.refresh(AbstractApplicationContext.java:564) at org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader.configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(ContextLoader.java:399) at org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader.initWebApplicationContext(ContextLoader.java:278) at org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener.contextInitialized(ContextLoaderListener.java:103) at cli.System.Web.HttpApplication.InvokeMethodWithAssert(Unknown Source) at cli.System.Web.HttpApplication.ProcessSpecialRequest(Unknown Source) at cli.System.Web.HttpApplicationFactory.EnsureAppStartCalledForIntegratedMode(Unknown Source) at cli.System.Web.HttpApplication.RegisterEventSubscriptionsWithIIS(Unknown Source) at cli.System.Web.HttpApplication.InitSpecial(Unknown Source) at cli.System.Web.HttpApplicationFactory.GetSpecialApplicationInstance(Unknown Source) at cli.System.Web.Hosting.PipelineRuntime.InitializeApplication(Unknown Source)

Note:-

• The converted Spring DLL (generated from the JAR using IKVM) contains the expected class path and the referenced class is present inside the DLL.
• The same application deploys and runs successfully on IIS when the @EnableAspectJAutoProxy (which internally uses AspectJAutoProxyRegistrar) annotation is removed from the Java code. This annotation was previously present and working as expected with IKVM 8.10, but the issue appears after upgrading to IKVM 8.13.4.

Need help on understanding the issue here. Is there any changes related to this with latest IKVM?

Hate to say it but I can't provide any more info. I know nothing about Spring or your build or that exception.

I will say the file name in the exception looks suspicious.
