Incidentally, you could put the assemblies anywhere you want, you would just have to change the

<Assembly>C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll</Assembly>

line within the .AddIn file to match the proper path to the AddIns.dll.  Glad you figured it out, though.

Aha, glad you got it working

Thank Ben...I had put them in GAC but had put them in C:\Program Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame\Assemblies instead of C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame.

Did you replace all of the files in your C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame folder and also drop all 6 into the GAC?  It is most likely a missing method exception or a meta-data mismatch caused by having a version of the AddIns DLL that was not built to use the version of the rest of the DLLs that you have.

Hi Ben

I installed the patch, but immediately lost my Strataframe menu. I looked at this post (http://forum.strataframe.net/Topic211-10-1.aspx) but everything seems to look fine. I extracted the files to both C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame and c:\windows\assembly (i'm guessing that is where I screwed up). See info below for more detail

This file was renamed with an underscore after I opened Visual Studio.

I get this when VS starts. I'm guessing you can't read it but basically...this just says that the addin will be renamed.

Here is the contents of the StrataFrame.addin file

It's been fixed and posted here:

http://forum.strataframe.net/Topic10915-10-1.aspx

There were several threads that brought up this issue... I'll try to find all of them and post the link to the update.

I just got this error as well.  After rebuilding all of my BOs I have 680 errors...all the missing End If error.  I would like to use this feature as I think it is a very good idea, so please let us know when the fix is available.

We will do our best to make sure it is in the next update.  Thanks.

Hi Ben

Any idea when this will be available?

Oh, yes, for some reason that bug didn't show up in our query when we were getting a list of the bugs to fix.  We'll get it done.  Thanks
