Hi @Anonymous ,
I think there are some problems with your .addin manifest file
1)Check whether you gave proper class name. For example
namespace REVITAPPLICATION { [Transaction(TransactionMode.Manual)] public class Class1 : IExternalApplication
then the FullClassName should be
<FullClassName>REVITAPPLICATION.Class1</FullClassName>
2)Since you created an application, in the Addin manifest file the ADDIN type should be application
<AddIn Type="Application">
I hope this helps.
