Dynamo 0.7.1+ AddinGenerator not working at end of Installation #1899

Closed ekatzenstein closed 10 years ago

ekatzenstein commented 10 years ago

I'm getting an installation error when installing all versions of Dynamo 0.7.1+ At the end of installation, the below error pops up and the Addin is not added to Vasari ("DynamoAddinGenerator has stopped working"). Dynamo installations work fine in prior releases.

Vasari Beta 3 Windows 7 Professional SP1

Can i get a little more info? Is this a 64bit OS? What other versions of Revit do you have installed?

ekatzenstein commented 10 years ago

64bit OS. I've just now installed Revit 2015 as well, but was experiencing the error with or without Revit. Please let me know if you need any more info and thanks for your help.

Are you installing to a custom Revit path (i.e. something other than the one suggested by Revit). Can you verify the location of your addins? By default, these are C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Addins?

ikeough commented 10 years ago

I've submitted a PR to fix this issue, but I'd still like to get to the bottom of this. The failure is due to the addin generator not finding the directory specified. The directory is found using the revit addin utility. So, why would the addin utility tell us to use an addins directory that doesn't exist?

The supplied fix will keep the DynamoAddinGenerator from failing, but it might create an addin in a directory that is never referenced by Revit/Vasari.

I need to know where your Revit applications are storing their addins to understand if there is something specific about your system setup that would be causing this behavior.

Thanks Ian.

Revit Addin directory: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2015 Vasari Addin directory: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Vasari\Addins\2014

I haven't customized anything to my knowledge.

Can you try with one if today's builds and see if the addins are generated correctly?

ekatzenstein commented 10 years ago

Today's build is working and installed in Revit. Thanks.
