# Sage ACT! Error: “Resolution of the Dependency Failed” — Causes and Fixes
<p data-start="77" data-end="460">The <strong data-start="81" data-end="122">“Resolution of the Dependency Failed”</strong> error in <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Sage ACT!</span></span> typically appears when the application cannot load required components during startup, installation, synchronization, or database access. This issue is commonly related to damaged dependencies, corrupted ACT! services, incorrect .NET Framework settings, or SQL Server connectivity problems.</p>
