Having upgraded my machine, I had to do a complete re-install of my development environment (upgraded ADX and WIX Designer as well). Now almost everything is back to normal except one thing: My setup does not build anymore.
It fails with the below exception:
------ Build started: Project: MyProjectSetup(1.0.4), Configuration: Release x86 ------

I have no idea how to retrieve the LoaderExceptions property. Can you please help? |

Update: There seems to be a problem with the signature file in my base ADX project(just opened a thread in the office forum). Currently my best guess is, once the signature issue is solved the setup will also build again. |

Update:
Signature issue in main project is solved but setup project still fails with the same error.
I have created a new setup project but still get the same error.
I also tried instead of choosing "project output" adding the files manually with no luck. |

Hi Oliver,
Does the adxloader.dll.manifest file contains the 'Signature' element ? Please check it in the Loader subfolder of your project. |

Hi Sergey,
Yep the manifest contains the signature element. Frankly said, I meanwhile believe the issue is related to the new WIX Designer/WixToolSet.
Here are my observations:
When I first used the WixDesigner it was bundled with ToolKit version 3x. Everything worked like a charme!
- I was able to create a setup via right click on the ADX main project => Add-in Express => Create Setup.
- I was able to publish the setup project as Click-Twice project
- I was able to upload the setup to my website and downloading worked right out of the box
The new WixDesigner is bundled with ToolKit version 4.
- I tried to update my setup.wixproj to the new pathes with no luck.
- I tried to create a new Click-Twice setup via right click on the ADX main project => Add-in Express => Create Setup. The project fails to build with the following error:
Error '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. MyProductSetup(1.0.4) light.exe 0
- I created a new setup via Solution => Add New Project => Wix Toolset => Setup Project. This setup builds correctly but I am unable to add it to the ADX main project in order to publish it. |

Update:
Did some more testing which supports my suspicion there is some incompatibility in WixDesigner version 1.7.205.
What I did:
- Created a ADX Excel COM addin from scratch. Just followed the creation wizard, no additional code.
- Changed configuration manager to 'Release' and did a build with option Register for COM ticked.
- Started Excel and the add-in showed up under Add-ins => COM Add-ins as expected.
- Right clicked test project in order to add Click-Twice Wix setup.
- Followed the wizard and finally added a ProductCode value. Version 1.7.205 seems to add DLL-registration and project output automatically (new feature?).
- Tried to build and ended up exactely with the same error as in my actual project:
Error '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. MyProductSetup(1.0.4) light.exe 0
I can send anytime the example project in case you guys can not reproduce the issue. |

Hi Oliver,
Thank you for the project. Did you install WiX v4.0 on your PC? If so, please uninstall it completely and install the latest stable version of WiX Toolset: https://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/619491
Let me know if the issue still exists. |

Hi Sergey,
Changing the WiX Toolset to version 3.10.2 solved the issue.
Appreciate your support! |
