Failed to Export Data: The System Cannot Find the File Specified

I wrote an export plugin in C#, and was able to register it using the instructions provided in the manual (for visual basic assemblies).

The command which did this, for reference, is [ <path_to_RegAsm>\RegAsm.exe <path_to_DEWE_Addons>\FooPlugin.dll \codebase ]

Now, when I go to export any dxd file using my registered plugin, I get the error message "Failed to Export Data: The System Cannot Find the File Specified". I don't think they are referring to the data file, because that can be exported using other export methods. Are there any other steps needed to finish the registration procedure?

This error does not occur when I build from Visual Studio.

so, I understand, that your export has been registered correctly and that it shows up in the Export file list in the Export section of Analysis mode and when you try to use it for export, you get the error.

I am not sure what the error message refers to, but these things come to my mind:

• Custom Export add-ons must have the file extension ".exp" - not ".dll"
• please try to change the file extension, then maybe the plugin will already show up
• maybe your plugin uses other dynamic linked libraries, that are not available?
• do you try to run the plugin on your development machine, or on another PC?
