I just posted a pull request that should fix this. It basically mimics how pyRevit imports wpf. I will leave it to the team to decide whether or now we want to intentionally leave the rpw stale in order to move off of it over time or not. I know this update caused some pain for my company who was relying heavily on rpw forms.

I will check this out

fixed by #2188

Thanks for this, I had trouble with rpw, because IPY2711PR engine had pyRevitLabs.IronPython.Wpf so clr.AddReference('IronPython.Wpf') threw an exception

NOTE: below is just an investigation on the original issue, which seems to be solved by the related PR

Okay, so the original issue of LoadComponent is happening in Revit 2022, but in 2023, 2024 it breaks with the IOException when trying to load the IronPython.Wpf assembly. Anyone knows why does it act differently?

Edit: found the reason: IronPython.Wpf is already preloaded by Dynamo, so clr finds it and it doesn't try to load from pyrevit bin IronPython.Wpf 2.7.9.0 C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2022\AddIns\DynamoForRevit\IronPython.Wpf.dll Thats why we have IronPython.Wpf in 2022, that breaks, but nothing in 2023, 2024

tried it in 2024 2023 2021 I will try it in 2022 then

tried the pychilizer room data sheet tool from that

ui.set_viewtemplates()

# collect titleblocks in a dictionary

    forms.alert("There are no Titleblocks loaded in the model.", exitscript=True)
ui.titleblock_dict = {'{} : {}'.format(tb.FamilyName, revit.query.get_name(tb)): tb for tb in titleblocks}
ui.set_titleblocks()

view_scale = 50

# get units for Crop Offset variable
if units.is_metric(doc):
    unit_sym = " [mm]"

components = [

]

form = FlexForm("Set Sheet Number", components)
ok = form.show()

[jmcouffin]

it works fine in 2022... @thumDer

[thumDer]

Sorry for the confusion but I was talking about the situation before the related pull request, how the original rpw wpf referencing worked, just wanted to investigate. I should have been more specific.
