Hello,
I have a COM addin and an XLL addin added to my solution. I am using clickonce deployment. Now I am trying to automate the build. Below is the sequence batch file to build the project and sign :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe MyExcelAddin.sln /t:Rebuild /nologo /v:minimal /p:Configuration=Release;TargetFrameworkVersion=v4.8;OutputPath=References\Bin
Copy Loader\adxloader.dll.manifest References\Bin
Copy Loader\adxloader.MyExcelAddIn.dll References\Bin
Copy Loader\adxloader64.MyExcelAddIn.dll References\Bin
References\Bin\adxpatch.exe /Sign="adxloader.dll.manifest" /CertificateFile="D:\Workarea\ExcelAddin\MyExcelAddin\MySign.pfx"
@echo Registring ExcelAddIn...
References\Bin\adxregistrator.exe /install="MyExcelAddIn.dll" /privileges="user"
@echo My Excel Addin built successfully.
@pause
I have created a folder References\Bin which has adxpatch.exe, adxregistrator.exe, adxpublisher.exe, adxpublisher.exe.config. Other reference dlls are copied after building the project.
Signing throws below error:
Update resources 'D:\Workarea\ExcelAddin\MyExcelAddin\References\Bin\adxloader.MyExcelAddin.dll'... success.
Update resources 'D:\Workarea\ExcelAddin\MyExcelAddin\References\Bin\adxloader64.MyExcelAddin.dll'... success.
Sign 'D:\Workarea\ExcelAddin\MyExcelAddin\References\Bin\MyExcelAddin.dll'... success.
Sign 'D:\Workarea\ExcelAddin\MyExcelAddin\References\Bin\adxloader.dll.manifest'... success.
Sign 'D:\Workarea\ExcelAddin\MyExcelAddin\References\Bin\adxloader.MyExcelAddin.dll'... failed.
adxpatch error: Failed to sign the 'D:\Workarea\ExcelAddin\MyExcelAddin\References\Bin\adxloader.MyExcelAddin.dll' file (HRESULT = -2147467259). HResult=-2147467259
Building from Visual studio works absolutely fine. But Building from Commandline throws this error. When I compared the files, manifest looks fine, the 2 Loader files are different. When I replace the Loader files generated from batch file with that of the files generated by Visual studio, it works fine.
Registering the dll from commandline throws no error (as seen in adxregistrator.log)
But launching excel does not load the addin and I see the below error in adxloader.log
15:43:44:622 5076 7028 Attempting to create a new instance of the managed XLL class: CLR - v4.0.30319
15:43:44:624 5076 7028 Hash verification failed
15:43:44:624 5076 7028 Hash verification failed
I have spent 2 days figuring out a solution, with no luck. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Not sure if the below has any impact, building the project from commandline throws below warning as well :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targe
ts(5148,5): warning MSB3061: Unable to delete file "D:\Workarea\ExcelAddin\MyExcelAddin\References\Bin\MyExcelAddin.dll". Access to the path 'D:\Workarea\ExcelAddin\MyExcelAddin\References\Bin\MyExcelAddin.dll' is denied. [D:\Workarea\ExcelAddin\MyExcelAddin\References\Bin\MyExcelAddin.sln] |

Try to start the batch file via "Run as administrator".

Hello Ranjitha,
Please confirm that you start the batch file from a CommandPrompt started via "Run as administrator".

I was running the batch file by right clicking and selecting Run as admin.
After you reply I now tried by starting the batch file from command prompt started via Run as admin

I am using a test key file (pfx) for signing. Ideally signing is not mandatory right, addin should be registered and work even without signing?
When I build from VS, manifest file is replaced everytime I build. Building the project from commandline does not replace the file. I am expecting that the additional action is performed by adxpatch. Please correct me if I am wrong in my understanding. |

Building and registering from VS works absolutely fine. But I cant get it through my batch file for some reason. Any help will be greatly appreciated. |

Hello Ranjitha,
Every time, before signing the adxloader*.dll files, copy them to your folder from the Add-in Express installation folder.

Please can you make me understand why is that required? Also, I will be running this batch file on a machine where addinexpress will not be installed. |
