Package Explorer crashes on startup caused by FileNotFoundException about aasx-package-explorer HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @jh-isw ,
Thanks a lot for reporting the error!

I'll try to at least reproduce the error tomorrow (Monday) and come back to you.

from aasx-package-explorer.

Hi @jh-isw ,
The program runs without problems on my machine. Could you please try to start it from a console and post us the output?

Hi @mristin ,
I tried to start it from cmd and PowerShell. It goes into background immediately, no output.
The GUI starts and from there -> same process as described above. Terminates without a clue.

I have to add: I'm trying this on a fresh Windows 10. No developer tools or anything.
Unfortunately, it's not telling which file it was looking for.

Do you have the option to reproduce this on a clean Windows 10?

Hi @jh-isw ,
I only have my laptop at disposal. Could you try to run it through command prompt?

Could you please try to run it on another computer as well?

Hi @mristin ,
that's what I was doing originally and it didn't work. I installed Visual Studio and wanted to pull the source, but thought it might run now - and it did.

Slightly different Windows 10 Version. 2004 or 20H2.

This here was a cross-check and report of the finding. I think something is missing in the deployment, that usually comes with other software and is missing on a clean Windows 10.

@jh-isw Huh, I have no clue what could cause such behavior. @MichaelHoffmeisterFesto any thoughts?

from aasx-package-explorer.

I tested again with a clean Win 10 ( Version 2004 version since I don't have the 1809 anymore) and aasx-package-explorer.2021-02-25.alpha.

Initial observation persists (application not starting up), but different Error.
Exception Info:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException at CefSharp.Wpf.ChromiumWebBrowser.NoInliningConstructor()
at CefSharp.Wpf.ChromiumWebBrowser..ctor()
at AasxIntegrationBase.AasxPlugin.ActivateAction(System.String, System.Object[])

Solution:
I installed the Visual C++ 2019 Redistributables as x64-version.

Result:
AasxPackageExplorer working as expected.
