Plug-In Dev Help: Error during build
Posted: Mon Jan 15, 2007 3:57 pm
(if this belongs in the Plug-In Dev forum, my appologies)
I am developing my own plug-in to kill off an application. The current TerminateProgram functionality does not work in my situation. I have used the sample Eval plug-in code to develop the plug-in. The DesignTime DLL works. I can use the about box, add/edit my script code, but I cannot build the project. The documentation is rather vague. I am using the AutoRun project to test it to keep things simple. A compile yields the following:
Built plug-in action Process Id
Created Windows Installer database
Built installation executable
Injected setup languages
Error during build: Unable to find support file , use the Project Manager window to update or remove the reference
I know it is my plugin because if I comment it out, the build works.
I have implemented a Copyfile routine to copy my runtime dll to the build directory - although, it does not appear to be necessary for Eval plug-in (and whether I commend my copy routine out or not, it still fails). There is something quite strange: any other plug-in copies itself to the project folder AND the build folder. My plug is only copied to the build folder. If I add the EXE dll to the project folder it still will not build.
I am missing something simple. Anyone that has Plug-in experience off any assistance?
Thanks,
Mark
