I've edited the AssemblyInfo.cs for my add-on to change the version number, but the Manage Add-ons dialog in Internet Explorer always displays the version number from adxloader.dll file. How do I get IE to report the add-on's version number instead of the loader's version number? I've tried AssemblyVersion, AssemblyFileVersion, and AssemblyInformationalVersion, all to no avail.
Thanks,

Hi Eric,
To change the product version field of the adxloader you need to run the following command line:
"<Add-in Express install folder>\Bin\adxpatch.exe" "<Loader path>\adxloader(64).dll" /productversion=1.0.0.0 |

Hi Sergey,
Thanks, I did not know about adxpatch. It does update the version number as required, but only if we use the latest versions of adxloader[64].dll. Trying to patch older versions of adxloader.dll give the message "Error: Input string was not in a correct format.".
Normally, this shouldn't be a problem, but we have never been able to get our add-in to work with the 8.1.5065 versions of adxloader.dll (see the thread called "Add-in Enabled but Not Available"). Our workaround for that problem was to use an older version of adxloader.dll, which does work for our add-in.
Ideally, we would like to use the latest version of adxloader.dll, but that's not a viable option for us.
Thanks,
Eric Smith

Hi Eric,
adxpatch.exe should work with any version of adxloader.dll. What version of the loader do you use?
Please answer my questions in the 'Add-in Enabled but Not Available' topic. |

I believe it is 7.2.4014, but I can't tell for sure. It appears that the previous developer used verpatch to update the version info.
Perhaps that is the cause of the "Input string was not in a correct format." message?
Thanks,

Hi Eric,
Yes, it could be the case. Please try to update the loader in your project with the version from the Add-in Express installation folder. Then run the adxpatch again. Let me know if the error still appears. |

Yes, with the loaders from the Add-in Express installation folder, adxpatch works fine.
