@dreichl Hello again. I was finally able to get some time to post the plgx to the project's github released page. Here's the URL https://github.com/drventure/Disambiguator I think I still have a little work to do getting all the version stuff correct, but the released PLGX installs currently.

Ok. It's all working now. I had to play with things abit, but it turns out, the references weren't quite right. When I deleted them and readded, pointing specifically to the UIAutomation*.dll files in the project folder, the references stayed and the plgx properly compiled using KeePass. I think it might be time to call this a 1.0 release!

Dll files are included in the plgx (I can actually see the filenames looking at the file with a hex editor), so I +think+ that's right, at least according to the plug in 2.x page. The one thing that may be weird is that these DLLs are "metadata only" appearently and don't contain any code, just .net definitions for MSAA functionallity. They're both normally a part of the .net framework installation. I've tried compiling with framework 4.6 and 4.8 though and same results.

Ok. I spoke a little too quickly. It +does+ compile fine and it works as expected. HOWEVER, it only compiles if the two UIAutomation*.dlls are actually in the same folder as the KeePass.exe when KeePass is run to compile the plgx. When I first ran keepass, it was the copy I've been using for development. When I deployed the PLGX to a real install, it failed again. Since those dlls are actually IN the plgx, they wouldn't normally end up in the user's keepass folder. I've attached the log file if that...

That was the trick. It was trying to load the UIAutomationClient and Types DLL, and for whatever reason, couldn't find the files when compiled using KeePass I included those 2 dlls actually in the root folder of the plgx, and KeePass can now find them and compiled the plgx properly! Fantastic!

I've got the latest version of KeePass, and I've got a plugin I'm developing. It's based on the WebAutoType plugin, and I can successfully compile a PLGX for that plugin, put it in the Plugins folder and run Keepass, and Keepass will successfully compile it. So I know my process is at least right. Here's what I've found: My plugin makes use of 2 MS framework dlls, UIAutomationTypes and UIAutomationClient. If I literally do nothing else to the (properly compiling) WebAutoType plugin source, except...

How about this

@dreichl Hey there. Nice to hear from you! Yes, definitely. I just wasn't sure what the right protocol was there. I'll get it uploaded to gihub and let you know. Thanks!
