Thanks for your effort, but the problem propably was somewhere else. I starter to see other problems, and ended up reinstalling Windows XP and everything with it.

No problem with DevForce now. It installed nicely by the booik, and it works.

The good news is that DevForce did find your AddIn file.  It is just that it failed trying to execute the AddIn.
 
My guess is that the AddIn could not find the Orm.Addin.dll
 
Look at the end of the AddIn file.  You'll see something like this"
 
<Assembly>IdeaBlade.DevTools.Orm.AddIn.dll</Assembly>
    <FullClassName>IdeaBlade.DevTools.Orm.AddIn.Connect</FullClassName>
    <LoadBehavior>1</LoadBehavior>
    <CommandPreload>1</CommandPreload>
    <CommandLineSafe>0</CommandLineSafe>
  </Addin>
</Extensibility>
 
Try changing the relative pathname "IdeaBlade.DevTools.Orm.AddIn.dll" to a hard-coded path name like "C:\VS_AddIn\IdeaBlade.DevTools.Orm.AddIn.dll".  I don't know if this will work, but I have gotten the Object Mapper to work before by using a full path name.
 
For example, this is the change that I did this morning to get the Object Mapper to appear in DevForce EF:
 

<Assembly>C:\IdeaBladeV4DevelopmentBuild\SourceCode\IdeaBlade\DevTools\OM\AddIn\bin\IdeaBlade.DevTools.OM.AddIn.v4.dll</Assembly>

I have tried all this, including a reinstall of VS 2008.

I allways end up with the following error message:

  The Add-in "Ideablade Object Mapper" failed to load or caused an exception.

  Would you like to remove the Add-in?

  If you choose yes, the file it was loaded from, "C:\VS_AddIn\Ideablade.DevTools.Orm.VS2008.AddIn", will be renamed.

  Error Message: The specified file was not found.

  Error number: 80070002

The file is there. I have moved them to the C:\CV_AddIn folder due to the suggestions above. The following files are in the folder:

- IdeaBlade.DevTools.Orm.AddIn
- IdeaBlade.DevTools.Orm.AddIn.dll
- IdeaBlade.DevTools.Orm.Vs2008.AddIn
 
The version I am trying to install is 6.3.1.1, and I am trying to intall in Visual Studio 2008.
 
Help

Here are two things to try:
 
(1) Put the two Add-In files in your "My Documents" folder.  On my machine, I would put it in this folder:
 
C:\Documents and Settings\DavidK\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Addins
 
Of course, since you are using a German OS, it won't be "Documents and settings".
 
I don't think that you will need an Addin path for this folder, but you might.
 
(2) Your symptomy can be caused by a corrupted Visual Studio.  Try uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio.

This may or may not work.  %ALLUSERSPROFILE% may not necessarily map to C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users.  To be sure, I would add another Add-In Path that maps explicitly to  C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins.]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2007 09:02:17 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=552&PID=1974#1974 Problem with Object Mapper Installer : Hi!

Hi!
Under Options... the add-in path is %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\MSENVShared\Addins
 
and on my pc I have in the folder C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins the files Ideablade.Devtools.orm.addin and Ideablade.Devtools.orm.addin.dll.

You are correct.  That is the problem.  The Object Mapper will never work if it can't be seen by the Add-In Manager,

When you changed the search path, did you use the exact path used in the forum, and did you check that that path was the correct path for you.  For example, there was a Norwegian customer who found that he needed a slightly different path.  He wrote:

Your guessed right and  I have a comparable issue as with the german installation. The files are to be found in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Programdata\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns, a happy mix of English and Norwegian names.

Just a quick note to point that the issue will also arise with the English version of VS on a localized Windows (as for me), the fix is the same i.e. adding the “localized” folder to tools>options>add-ins/macros security.

No, that is the problem.

If you are using a German OS, you need to read:

Otherwise, read about your problem in the Troubleshooting section of the Installation Guide,

Hi!
 
I want to install the IdeaBlade Devforce Express on my system.
After the setup, the ORM Tools won't appear in VS, I have tried the solutions for my German version of VS, but it did not help.
 
When I rund the Object Mapper Installer, it gives me the error message:

Unable to install community controls Unable to invoke community controls installer
Do you have any tips on this topic?
 
Thanks!
