MicroStation SDK Dimensions Example

Offline 1 month ago

I am trying to load an example from the MicroStation SDK examples; DimensionsExample.  When I try to load the addin, I get the following error:

System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'dimensionsexample' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.

Does anyone know what is causing this error?

When I compile the code, I do get this message:

mt.exe -manifest C:\Users\LARRY~1.SMA\AppData\Local\Temp\Bentley\MicroStationSDK\objects\DimensionsExample.dll.Manifest -outputresource:"C:\PROGRA~1\Bentley\MICROS~1\MICROS~1\mdlapps\DimensionsExample.dll";2'mt.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

I am running MicroStation Connect Edition Update 11 - Version 10.11.00.36, Windows 10 and MicroStation SDK version 10.11.0042.

Thanks,

Larry

    Do you build the example from the SDK shell?

    Whenever there's a new release of the SDK, I build all the examples to check that everything is OK. I don't recall any problem with Update 11. You can use BuildAllExamples.bat in the SDK\examples folder.

    Jon, yes I did build the example from the SDK shell.  This is the output from the build:

    Larry,

    From your developer shell, you should be able to type: where mt.exe; and it should provide a path similar to:

    e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86\mt.exe

    As my path above indicates, Microsoft Windows Kits 10 is where it is being resolved from.  Can you confirm to see if the following Microsoft Visual Studio install options have been installed and let us know if this resolves the issue?

    MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 5 SDK (and later) based on Visual Studio 2015 has a couple additional Visual Studio installer features that are not enabled by default for C++ developers. :(

    When installing or modifying your Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 install, make sure you have the following items checked/enabled for install:

    1. Programming Languages > Visual C++
    2. Windows and Web Development > Universal Windows App Development Tools > Windows 10 SDK

    Thank you,
    Bob
