Hi,

I'm currently developing an IEAddon in C# for IE.
When user clicks on button the IEAddON open a word application with a specific docx file.
We use the same installation on all hosts,
In some hosts the Broker throws exception alternatly:
Exception Source:
Exception Type: AddinExpress.IE.ADXIEBrokerApplicationException
Exception Message: Unable to open broker pipe.
Exception Target Site: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I followed the instructions here:
https://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?PAGEN_1=1&FID=10&TID=12325#nav_start
But everything was ok and the AddinExpress.IE.Broker.dll assembly exists in the target folder after installation.

Thanks a lot!

Hello Zipi,

Maybe, you start using the broker app before the OnBrokerStarted event is raised on the module?

WiX doesn't create setup.exe. You need to modify the WiX project file to get setup.exe created; see e.g. http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/redistributables_and_install_checks/install_dotnet.html. See also http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/cb88b2/installing-prerequisites-using-wix-bootstrapper-project-and/.

If you use our Designer for WiX toolset, you can select the WiX project, click the Prerequisites property on the Properties window and specify creating setup.exe and choose prerequisites to be installed. See https://www.add-in-express.com/wix-designer/index.php.

Alternatively, you can install Visual Studio Installer; it is free:
