Manifest authoring error c1010005

Hi there,

I just started using the tool, so please pardon me for asking silly questions.

I installed the tool out-of-the-box and tried repeating one of the videos. I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (Version 8.0.50727), installed with C++ support. I created a new C++ plug-in for Word, and tried compiling after the new project wizard finished with all the initialization. I get the following error:

Embedding manifest...
.\Loader\adxloader.dll.manifest : manifest authoring error c1010005: The root element name should be <assembly/>.

The manifest file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<assemblyIdentity name="WordNLI, PublicKeyToken=72253fdfa5636b4e" />
<loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="true" privileges="user" />
</configuration>

I could not figure out how to make it work.

Note: I originally did not have .NET framework 2.0 (I had only 3.0 installed) - I have installed that, uninstalled and re-installed ADX .NET, but it does not fix the problem. Also, note that Visual Basic plug-ins do work, they succeed in building the manifest, only the C++ plug-ins fail.

Also, note that when the project is first created, it successfully embeds the manifest (log:

It's only when I rebuild that it fails.

Anyone know what I am missing, or a work-around? (I'm using Office 2003)

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Andrew.

Thank you for the bug report. You just need to exclude the adxloader.dll.manifest from build. Please open the Property Page dialog of the adxloader.dll.manifest file in Visual Studio and set the 'Exclude From Build' property to 'Yes'.
