AutoCAD 2015 API Crashes with Exception

[DMadhuri]

Hi All,

I have upgraded my addins from 2014 to 2015 and when I start AutoCAD I see the below error.

Has any one experienced this before/ recommend any fix?

Any help is really appreciated.

Application does not support just-in-time (JIT)

debugging. See the end of this message for details.

Hi,

>> I have upgraded my addins from 2014 to 2015

And you have changed the Framework from 4.0 to 4.5 in your visual studio project settings?

2015 needs 4.5, but your report shows 4.0 as referenced Framework release.

BTW: there is a special forum for AutoCAD and dotNET >>>there<<< (for your next questions 😉 )

Hi Alfred ,

Thanks for the response.I will post my further queries in the .net section from next post.

And for the existing query, I did change the Target framewrok from 4.0 to 4.5 and also the referenced libraries show 4.5 as shown in the image

Please find the screen shots which may be helpful to track down the problem. Let me know if I missed any

Hi,

And the exception is the same?

Can you give us the information about what ActiveX objects you have included/referenced within your project?

And your previous solution that worked ... was that based on 32bit or 64bit AutoCAD?
