Hi,

I have upgraded to SF 1.6.5 and use VS 2008 as my development env. I hit error "The Strataframe AddIn Manager" failed to load or caused exception.



Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.



Please advice.



Thank you

Hi,

I have checked the AddIn file, the assembly specified in this XML is correct (I check using DOS dir C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll).



All template files are copied, AddIn.dll has been updated to GAC manually as well.

Hi,

Found the reason, MicroFour Strataframe UI.dll is not registered to GAC.

I am not sure it is removed during SFSetup and didnt been registered back or during source code compilation.

Make sure that your AfterBuild.bat is placing the assembly back into the GAC.
