AutoCAD 2019 Add-In's - What's different?

[ThomasRambach]

I have a signed DLL located in: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\{AddinName}\ that loads without issues in ACAD2017 after I set the folder as a trustedpath. In 2019, it doesn't load at all? What am I missing?

I'm running plain AutoCAD 2019.

The PackageContents.xml file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ApplicationPackage SchemaVersion="1.0" ProductCode="{16036D32-8A02-41A3-AC1A-1B336F26DCC2}" Version="1.0.0" Name="{Name}" Description="{Description}" Author={Author}">
	<CompanyDetails Name="{Company}" Url="{Address}/" Email="{Email}"/>
	<Components>
		<RuntimeRequirements OS="Win32|Win64" Platform="LDT|AIP|AIPRS|AIPSIM|Civil|AOEM|AIS|ECSCAD|ACADM|ACADE" SeriesMin="R21.0" SeriesMax="R23.0" SupportPath="./Contents/"/>
		<ComponentEntry AppName="{AppName}" AppDescription="{AppDescription}" ModuleName=".\Contents\{DLLNAME}.dll" LoadOnAutoCADStartup="True"/>
	</Components>
</ApplicationPackage>

Hi, Have a look at the SECURELOAD and APPAUTOLOAD sysvars.

SECURELOAD = 1 and APPAUTLOAD = 14, I changed APPAUTLOAD to 2 and it still didn't load.

Apparently the format of PackageContents.xml wasn't quite correct.
