#86 cannot find the assembly VS.NET Addin

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've been trying to get this to work in VS.NET 2003 and
I get the following error...see below.

I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong. Please could
you advise if I'm making a mistake or what I can do to
resolve this problem.

I'm really looking forward to using this with NDoc and
I really do appreciate all the work you've done on this
product.

Many thanks

Hi Markus

I'm using the version that comes with the latest msi
download. The VS.NET addin version number on the About
screen is 0.3.9.0.

Some assemblie versions got mixed up. I corrected those, it
works now absolutely perfect for me with VS.NET 2003. The
new version (0.40-2) will be online in a few minutes.

Hi,

I tried the new version. I un-installed the old one,
re-installed the new one and re-booted. Then tried to run
and I get the same error except the version number is
different. The version on the about screen is 0.4.0.0.
Maybe the assembly versions are still mixed up. Do you mind
checking it again, please.

Thanks
Jacques

I don't know what causes this problem. Can you plase take a
look in the install directory and tell me what files are in it?

[Jacques]

Hi,

The following files are found in the default install directory.
C:\Program Files\VBDocAddin

The list of file are as follows: (I've included version
numbers)
- CommentExtractor.dll (0.4.0.0)
- Extensibility.dll (7.0.9466.0)
- ICSharpCode.SharpRefactoryVB.dll (1.0.1.1667)
- VS.NETAddin.dll (0.4.0.0)
- VSLangProj.dll (7.0.9466.0)
- vslangproj.tlb (no version available)

looks correct. As i can't reproduce the behaviour I can only
suggest to step in with the debugger and see what's happening.

Hi,

I've had a quick look around..... if I un-install VBdoc,
none of my VS.NET applications work anymore. Which is a
little weird. So I did some more digging and I need to ask
if you're using framework 1.1 with SP1.

Next, when I go into the registry, it seems that the addin
has not been added to the following location

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
VisualStudio
7.1
Addins
VBDOC

Anything else you can suggest?

Regards
Jacques

the registry entry looks ok. i'm using 1.1 with SP1, right.

Hi,

Thanks for that. The VBDOC registry entry is actually
missing on my PC.

Anyway, thanks. I'm going to look into installing SP1.

Thanks for all your help.

I also have a question: does the standalone version (not the
addin) work?

[Jacques]

Logged In: YES

Yes the standalone version works in producing the XML file.
I still need to check SP1 but I think that's the problem.

I am also getting this error using 1.1 with SP1, and the
0.4.0.0 version of VS.NETAddin. I tried installing the
assembly in the GAC, but the add-in still says it can't find the
assembly.

In the meantime, I guess I'll try the stand-alone version.

Thanks.
