Nick,

I downloaded the ActiveWriter for VS2010 installer:

http://www.nicholaskilian.net/activewriter/Castle.ActiveWriter.DslPackage.vsix

I double clicked it to install it. The install log looks clean (no errors).

I can create the diagram, but no code generation is happening. When I
try to run the custom tool manually, I get this error:

--
Cannot find custom tool 'ActiveWriterCodeGenerator' on this system.
--

If it matters, I have ActiveWriter for VS2008 working on the same machine.

Any ideas?

Hi Michael,

This is unfortunately a Microsoft bug in the current release of the VSIX
generation.
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/552622/deployed-c
ustom-code-generator-using-vsix-has-wrong-codebase-in-registry

You need to edit the following registry key to point it to the correct
location of the Castle.ActiveWrite.DslPackage.dll

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0_Config\CLSID\{2e39ff4
5-b117-4126-9073-7ddcbec3e113}\CodeBase

The current version of the vsix package will install the DLL to
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions (on
Win7 at least), the next release will install to the VisualStudio install
path so all users have access to it.

There is some info here on how to correct this as a post-build task that I
will look to implement -

Thanks for the detailed explanation and workaround.

For whatever reason, it took me a few tries, but this value for
CodeBase eventually worked for me on W2K3:

file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Michael/Local Settings/Application
Data/Microsoft/VisualStudio/10.0/Extensions/altinoren.com/ActiveWriter/1.0.0.0/Castle.ActiveWriter.DslPackage.dll

Hi, colleagues . Could you explain me how to use this tool at all ? As I understand, after I installed it in VS, some "Active writer" tab should appear in a window where are solution explorer and others placed ? May be I missed something ? how to start this tool at all ?

[Alexandre Valente]

Hi,

Just create a new ActiveWriter file, it should be available on "new item" menu option.

Cheers,

Alexandre Valente

The thing is that there is no such item in this dialog. I also tried to
use mindscape Nhibernete designer: after installation I can see it in the
list, and it's activated . Maybe these extension don't work because my VS
has a russian language. maybe there are some conflicts. What do you think
? Can it be so ?

Sorry, Mindscape works, but with a Class library project and doesn't work
with a WibSite - type project. Anyway, Active writer didn't appear in this
case too

[Alexandre Valente]

Might be...

Try to create a file named myentities.actiw and double-click it. If it fails to open on ActiveWriter designer, the installation failed.

Cheers,

Alexandre Valente
