Hello Addin express team,

In my addin module constructor,I am using the following line:

Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

But with Addin express, building the project throws the following exception:

Cannot register assembly. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets 4334

It compiles and registers fine if I comment this line. Could you please explain?

Hello Ranjitha,

I've tried wrapping this code line in a try/catch block. This shows that the exception only occurs when you register the add-in from the IDE; it doesn't occur when the add-in loads in the host application (I tested this on Excel).

The exception message is: "SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault must be called before the first IWin32Window object is created in the application." I suppose the windows created by the IDE produce the issue; but, in fact, I just don't know what causes the issue.
