I migrated my application to 200007, now I cannot get the shim to correctly compile related post.

I was looking through the warnings and noticed:
Warning 2 'Public Property ShimProgID() As String' is obsolete: 'The 'ShimProgID' property is deprecated in the current ADX version. Please use the ADX loader as a shim for your ADX project.'

How do I do this?

Is it preferred to use the loader vs the shim?

Also, how do you determine the PublicKeyToken for an InstallShield project?

Hi Jack.

Yes.

Also, how do you determine the PublicKeyToken for an InstallShield project?

Do you mean a PublicKeyToken of a .NET assembly?

Yes, the document states "The name attribute of the assemblyIdentity node includes the name of you add-in assembly (without ‘.dll’) and PublicKeyToken of your add-in assembly. The latter can be found in the setup project (that must be already built) - click on your add-in primary output in the setup projects and, in the Properties window, expand the KeyOutput property and see the PublicKeyToken property value."

However, I am using InstallShield and there is not a properties that has the PublicKeyToken.

Jack, you can use the sn.exe tool to extract the PublicKeyToken from the .snk file (see the MSDN help).

sn.exe -p infile outfile
sn.exe -t infile

Thanks for the info on sn.exe; I did find the PublicKeyToken. However when it attempts to load it seems to fail, see the lines from the log below. I also included the manifest below the error for reference.

Hi Jack.

1. Didn't you change the name of the add-in assembly?
2. Does the PublicKeyToken of the .snk file correspond to the PublicKeyToken in the loader manifest? Please examine the adxloader.dll.manifest file in the add-in target directory when the error appears during the installation process.
