7 years ago - A DirectoryCatalog was previously returned by PluginManager::GetPluginCatalog() without checking for any errors. The DirectoryCatalog constructor actually loads each of the DLLs to query their interfaces to determine which are actually MEF Plugins. If one of those DLLs is missing a DLL. The population of the DirectoryCatalog::Parts collection fails and in turn no plugins are available to MapWindow5. The constructor actually never throws an exception despite an inner exception being thrown. The change that is committed here provides an indication to the analyst that an error has occured and provides general recommendations on resolution of the problem.
