Limiting addin to specific multiple releases

[LukeDavenport]

Hi,

I need to limit an addin to only load for Inventor releases 2014 and 2015. Referring to Adam Nagy's helpful blog here:

http://adndevblog.typepad.com/manufacturing/2014/09/addin-file-version-information-.html

According to this blog I should be able to use the following entry in the .addin file to achieve this.

  <SupportedSoftwareVersionEqualTo>14..;15..</SupportedSoftwareVersionEqualTo>

But this causes the addin to fail to load completely. Am I missing something simple with the syntax here? Is it different from the old registry method syntax for specifying multiple releases?

Many thanks for any help.

It needs to be. 

Use both together

<SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan>17..</SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan><SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>20..</SupportedSoftwareLessGreaterThan>

2014 = 18

2015 = 19
