Hello,

The setup build for the 'HelloWorld' using 2.7 on VS.NET 2005 fails with...

1>------ Build started: Project: HelloWorld, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
1>HelloWorld -> C:\src\temp\HelloWorld\HelloWorld\bin\Debug\HelloWorld.dll
------ Starting pre-build validation for project 'HelloWorldSetup' ------

Has anyone else seen this?

Never seen that one before. Almost as if ADX has been uninstalled after the project was created.

Hi Ralph.

You just need to remove the 'AddinExpress.Install.2005.dll', 'extensibility.dll' and 'AddinExpress.MSO.2005.dll' assemblies from the setup project and add them again from the correct location.

Ralph, you can also correct the ADX installation directory in the text of the setup file (.vdproj). This is the best way to solve the issue.

Thanks!

We used the loader instead of the shim as a workaround for this issue. For some reason, the generated projects that used a loader had working setup files. Those generated with shims gave that error.

Best regards

Hi

I may be wrong here but when you installed Visual Studio 2005 did you install the C++ part, as I believe this is needed to build the shim with the loader it is precompiled so may explain the build issues with shim, again I could be wrong.

Hello,

C++ is installed. It was the build path that was incorrect.
Thanks.

Best regards.
