I need to create an add-in which is not strong named. I am not able to strong name it because it has dependencies that cannot be strong named.

I am using ADX v3.4 and the adxloader.dll shim. Using regsvr32 adxloader.dll is returning an error and the log that is generated tells me: The ADX Loader can't resolve the '{assembly name}' assembly. Please check if the assembly exists in the application directory or in the GAC.

It is critical to my project that the add-in not need to be strong named.

Please let me know how I can implement an add-in that is not strong named.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve.

Please try to delete the 'PublicKeyToken' attribute from the assemblyIdentity element in the adxloader.dll.manifest file.
E.g.

Before:
<assemblyIdentity name="MyAddin38, PublicKeyToken=240ac70a5a49d3a9" />

After:
<assemblyIdentity name="MyAddin38" />

Sergey,

Thanks so much for your help. I didn't realize i was able to remove the PublicKeyToken from the name attribute. That has worked out great.

Thanks again!
Steve
