Dear Andrei,
I get more and more clients who have problems with the installation
https://www.alerasoftlib.de/images/error.jpg
I am still running AddInExpress 8.9 as I had problems with v 9
I have requested Windows, office, Excel versions and Browser Info, waiting for reply
I believe this is a compatibility problem as everything works perfect on Win 7 office 2010 Excel 14 and IE 11
Any idea would help greatly
thank you and kind regards
Michael |

Dear Andrei
The client is using:
Chrome browser
Windows10
Excel Office 365 (but I did not open Excel; error message came after opening downloaded alera.exe)
The download of the add in is at
http://www.alerasoftlib.de/SetUp/0/1.0.15/alera.exe
Can you reproduce the problem?
What is the solution?
Thank you and kind regards
Michael |

Hello Michael,
My Symantec antivirus declares your alera.exe dangerous; threat name is Heur.AdvML.C; it also provides this link: https://www.symantec.com/security_response/sape/.
Could you please make sure you don't use adxloader.dll, adxregistrator.exe of version 9.0? You should use either 8.9 or 9.1. The issue is: that Add-in Express build used VS 2015 to compile these utilities and this caused many antiviruses to blame Add-in Express files. Version 8.9 and 9.1 use VS 2010 to build the same files and no antivirus triggers any warning.
Also check if the users can access that version_info.xml.

Dear Andrei,
I looked at your link, however it did no give me any idea how to fix the virus issue?
I checked with virustotal.com
No virus found in version_info.xml, aleraSetup(2.0.0).msi, alera.updater.exe.config.deploy, alera.updater.exe.config.deploy
red
However I find many on google about Heur.AdvML.C being a false positive.
I have then published a new alera.exe (version 16) and the virustotal showed no more virus
kindy check
https://www.alerasoftlib.de/SetUp/0/1.0.16/alera.exe
I have the following in the project loader folder
adxloader.alera.dll Version 8.9.4453.0
adxloader64.alera.dll Version 8.9.4453.0
then in the Redistributables folder
adxloader.dll Version 8.9.4453.0
adxloader64.dll Version 8.9.4453.0
and
adxregistrator.exe Version 8.9.4453.0
However I have VS 2017 installed so how can VS 2010 be used to build the files?
I then installed Chrome and could install the AddIn with no problem.
I do not have Windows 10 nor Office 365
Could you try to find out?
Thank you and kind regards
Michael |

On our end, not on yours. We need to build those executables to provide them to you.
This build works correctly for me. It installs and updates with no issues.
I see that the updater is installed in AppData\Local\alera\{giud}. I expected it to be installed to AppData\Local\Temp\{giud}. I'll find out if this might impose anything unwanted.
Anyway, I download version_info.xml with no issue. I suggest that you check if your customers can download or open that file in their browsers.

Dear Andrei,
thank you very much for your prompt reply.
If I install the AddIn from the internet it shows Installation directory:
C:\Users\Alera 02\AppData\Local\alera\alera Thermal\
It then installs the following files:
In C:\Users\Alera 02\AppData\Local\alera\647560FF0B3F41198C8533E36B848185\1.0.16\
alera.updater.exe
alera.updater.exe.config
In C:\Users\Alera 02\AppData\Local\alera\alera Thermal\
AddinExpress.MSO.2005.dll
adxloader.alera.dll
adxloader.dll.manifest
adxloader64.alera.dll
adxregistrator.exe
alera.dll
alera.ico
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll
Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.dll
Office.dll
stdole.dll
I first believe that the version_info.xml is not downloaded, at least I cannot find it anywhere in
C:\Users\Alera 02\AppData\Local\alera\alera Thermal\
I believed because I set https://www.alerasoftlib.de/SetUp as the Installation URL, the updater would look for the version_info.xml on the URL
Now I found out that it actually puts the version_info.xml in the VS project MSI publish location on my drive.
I have the impression that my specifications on the publish set up are wrong? What I do, I publish to my local Folder MSIPublish and then transfer the files via FTP to the internet server.
See Screenshot of publish set up:
https://www.alerasoftlib.de/images/Publish.jpg
Strange that up to now this worked.
Thank you for your help & kind regards
Michael
P.S. I just got the same error from a client who runs Win 7 Prof. MS Excel 2010 and IE 11, the same as I have on my machine. |

That file is downloaded and parsed by the updater; it is never put in any folder.
I've opened version_info.xml from that URL. The error message you provided in your original post makes me ask you (again): Could you please try to open https://www.alerasoftlib.de/SetUp/version_info.xml on any of the affected machines?

This is described in the manual; see section Files Generated by ClickTwice, see the PDF file in the folder {Add-in Express}\Docs on your development PC.

Let that user open https://www.alerasoftlib.de/SetUp/version_info.xml. Is that file is viewable/downloadable for that user?

Dear Andrei,
I got feedback from the client using Win 7. Office 2010 and IE 11. He confirms that the link will open the XML file. He send me a screen shot.
He tried the installation again and got the same error. However I was trying to create such an error. If I lose the internet connection during the installation process, I get
https://www.alerasoftlib.de/images/Errorme.jpg
As Error 3, if I am not mistaken is a Windows system error, that a path is not found? That is why I tried it with a broken internet connection during installation but the error looks different so it must be something else?
His error message again:
https://www.alerasoftlib.de/images/Error.jpg
Any idea what it could be and how we can fix it?
Thank you for your help & kind regards
Michael |

Hello Michael,
When the user gets the message, while it is still shown, check if the following folder exists: "AppData\<project name>_<date in number format>". That folder should contain a non-empty version_info.xml. Is this so? If yes, please send me that file to the support email address.
