Hi I am getting trouble with an addin that is saying missing dll file (see attached) I seem to remember if I open the addin file in C# and hit build but there is and error when sending it to C# and the "build" button is greyed out. Is this error fixable? If so, which folder exactly do I put the dll file into? See attached files for reference. Thanks!
Hi michaelmead,
Do you get the error if you place your assembly dll to the Addins\2014 folder (without Wiip.Revit.Numbering.bundle subfolder) and set only dll name in the Assembly node of your addin manifest file? If you still get the error, see my answer on another topic.
But i think you problem will be solved if you set the path to your assembly as
.\Wiip.Revit.Numbering.bundle\Contents\2014\Wiip.Revit.Numbering2014.dll (point and slash at the beginning)
Regards,
Victor.
You probably either need to hardcode the path to your DLL in your .addin file or move your .DLL to the Addins folder.
Ie:
- Change to <Assembly>C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\AutoDesk\Revit\Addins\2014\Wiip.....blah\Wiip.Revit.Numbering2014.dll</Assembly>
OR
- Move your DLL to C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2014 and change your addin to <Assembly> Wiip.Revit.Numbering2014.dll</Assembly>
First of all I want to thank you both for your help. But both responses would only be helpful if I had a dll file, which I do not. I cannot build the dll file because the button is greyed out. Again I am new to this so please do not assume anything is obvious to me, but none of your suggestions could be implemented by me. Thanks
Hi Michael,
The ADDIN file is not really your application. It is just a settings file that tells Revit where to find your application and other information and settings for your Application.
If you do not already have the "Wiip.Revit.Numbering2014.dll" file with you, you have two choices:
1) Request the creator of that application to give you that file (and any other files that the DLL depends on)
2) Obtain the C# source code of that application and then build it.
Best Regards
