Plugin fails to load after installation

[johnsietsma]

I installed the CppCheck plugin in Visual Studio 2013. And when opening a project I get a message box that says "The 'CPPCheckPluginPackage' did not load correctly.

The ActivityLog.xml files has the error message:
"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

I imagine that it should be looking for VisualStudio.Shell.12.0. Perhaps the assembly dependency is incorrect?

[VioletGiraffe]

I get the same at home, where I don't have the VS SDK and only have VS 2013. I'll look into it tomorrow.

[Dmitry-Me]

Dunno if that's related, but the project currently references Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.X.0 with X being 8, 9, 10 and 11 but not 12. I would guess that adding such reference could magically solve the problem.

[VioletGiraffe]

I wonder when it got broken in the first place.

[johnsietsma]

Well thanks for taking a look. It does sound like it needs the reference to
12. I'm happy to test a build for you if you like.

The better question is, when did it get broken.

I've uploaded a new release, 1.3.1. Please give it a try: https://github.com/VioletGiraffe/cppcheck-vs-addin/releases/tag/1.3.1.0

Hi,
I had the same problem, so I tried your new 1.3.1 release with no success. Then I tried to reproduce the problem in the debugger with your current master/head and the problem does not occurred. Everything worked fine. Is it possible, that the uploaded CppcheckPlugin.vsix from your link is not the newest one?

[VioletGiraffe]

No, I've double-checked, it's the right VSIX.

[VioletGiraffe]

The error message mentions Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell reference, but there is no such reference in the module's assemblies. The only such extension available in the list is Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.12.0, there's no 11.0 or just universal Shell with no version number.

[VioletGiraffe]

Try this VSIX: http://rghost.net/8XkG8wdqs
It should solve the problem, but break compatibility with VS 2013 and 2015.

[johnsietsma]

That works for me. I could install and use the add-in without any issues,

Thanks!

Okay, so that was it.

[manuelh]

I'm experiencing the same issue with VS2013 and the latest version I got from here: https://github.com/VioletGiraffe/cppcheck-vs-addin/releases/tag/1.3.1.0

[bugparty]

I am using Visual Studio 2012 update 5,
I also have this problem,the log is:

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'
]

I tried the releases above but no one works

I tried the compile this project under vs2012, I got the follow warnings

[VioletGiraffe]

@bugparty: Works for me (VS 2013 Update 4)!

[thiessendg]

I just downloaded this VS add-in and it's still not working. I have a fairly vanilla VS 2013 Update 5 installed. Is there any way to get this to work?

Here is the relevant material from G:\Users\dthiessen\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ActivityLog.xml

[VioletGiraffe]

Sorry, my mistake. I was wondering how come bugparty's fix didn't solve the problem for you (as it was supposed to), and then I realized I actually never released a fixed plugin! So please install the latest release, it should work fine: https://github.com/VioletGiraffe/cppcheck-vs-addin/releases/latest

[thiessendg]

Still doesn't work. Won't load. Here is the newest snip from the xml...

[thiessendg]

[VioletGiraffe]

I assume that's with the new version?

[thiessendg]

Yes, newest version, still doesn't load.

[thiessendg]

Seems like it is assuming I have VS 2012, not VS 2013 or 2015 from the Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0 lines in the xml... shrug...

[VioletGiraffe]

Could be that the 11.0 version is hardcoded, when it shouldn't be. But the problem is that the release works on both my PCs no problem with VS 2013 and 2015.

[thiessendg]

That's weird. I have VS 2015 on another machine, let me get to that and try it there.

[thiessendg]

OK, weird... works fine on Win 10 / VS 2015... So, something is haywire with my Win 7 / VS 2013 platform... I will see what I can find. Thanks!

[VioletGiraffe]

Note: this is a duplicate of #138

[thiessendg]

I tried everything I could think of, including a "Repair" of VS 2013 and nothing worked. I finally said to heck with it and downloaded the zip from GitHub and "rebuilt" the plugin. The rebuilt plugin now works. No idea why that worked.

[VioletGiraffe]

It worked because the problem is not with the actual code of the plugin (that I wrote) but with the list of dependencies (about which I don't understand the first thing).

[bugparty]

the latest source has patched by me ,maybe you haven`t download the latest
build

I did git pull before building the release.

[calexiev]

Hello!
I had the same problem with the lates version on 64 bits. Could you please indicate the general solution?

[VioletGiraffe]

Closing as too old - much has changed in the add-in's settings since then (for one, VS 2013 is probably no longer supported).
