Hi,

I get trouble with my CI Jenkins Jobs. In our Project we add the tag 

    <RegisterForComInterop>true</RegisterForComInterop>

via ContextMenu of Project/Add-In Express/Register to debug our Add-In.
On our develooper mashines it runs and builds. But on our CI Jenkins Server the job failes with the Message:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(4335,5): error MSB3211: The assembly 'AddinExpress.MSO.2005, Version=8.4.4395.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4416dd98f0861965-Assembly is not registered for COM Interop. Please register it with regasm.exe /tlb.

Without the tag <RegisterForComInterop> it works.
Our Add-In Project is build for target Any CPU. With CPU target x86 or x64 it works but not for Any CPU.

Any suggestion to make it work for Any CPU?

Hello Christopher,

You need to set RegisterForComInterop to false when building the add-in project. Setting this option to true is only required for registering the add-in on the PC and debugging it; doing this isn't required to build the add-in assembly.

I guess this. But I think we are not disciplined enough to delete this tag on each commit. Is there another solution or is it a know problem?

Hello Christopher,

You can modify that tag programmatically before building the project.

Hi Andrei,

do you mean with a before build target/step or with another program/script?

Hello Christopher,

You can create a new solution/project configuration especially for building and set <RegisterForComInterop>false</RegisterForComInterop> in that new PropertyGroup. Does this solution suit you?

Hi Dmitry,

yes it works for me. I add a PropertyGroup with a Condition and add a Parameter for MSBuild in my Jenkins Job.

Thanks a lot
Christopher
