after updating from the 1.6.6 Beta to the 1.6.6 release version we are getting an exception when right-clicking within the buisness object mapper window.

( No matter where the right click is being done )

The following error message appears and the BOM closes:

The Message text translates to:

NullReferenceException

  The object reference does not point to am object instance

Uninstalling Strataframe and reinstalling from the new setup file did not solve the issue aswell.

Thanks.

1. More than one instance of the MicroFour assemblies in the GAC (most likely).  So open up the c:\windows\assembly folder and just remove them all and re-install to make sure that you get the right versions.
2. Did not have sufficient permissions to overwrite the assemblies (or they were in use which is not as likely) when installing.

But in short, you do no have the most recent version of the AddIns and/or Extensibility which is causing this issue.  Also, be sure that your database structures are updated.

Hi,

thanks for the quick reply. We will check the points you mentioned tommorow. It's not my machine that suffers from it (i havent yet updated to retail 1.6.6), and i did not see the installation process and if that raised something. i know the machine runs vista tho it could possibly be a stupid vista security thing that blocked overwriting the files or something.

I was wrong when i said it doesnt matter where you click. it happens only if you right-click on an empty spot (outside of an item in the treeview).

We did clean new install with latest installer and full administrative rights, deleted the Strataframe GAC beforehand, and did a data redeployment.

I have actually tested it on my machine (where beta is still installed) today and found that it happens there aswell. So apparently this is not linked to the update.

Not much of a problem now, since i found out it only happend when right-click NOT on an item, since there is no real need todo so, but maybe a "comestic" bugfix for the next version.
