Model Editor Error

[DannyRawlings]

Hi ya,

I have been unable to open the model editor since rebuilding my Windows OS

I have found this error in the Model Editor log file under the path "AppData\Local\Xpand\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win\4.232.2.0"

**Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win Error: 0 : 22.03.24 15:31:37.175 ================================================================================
The error occurred:

Type:       InvalidProjectFileException
Message:    The SDK 'Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web' specified could not be found.**

Is there anything you can recommend to resolve this?

Cheers

Dan

given that u have 6,7,8 sdk installed and at least a system restart

the only thing I find it strange is the path mine is on

AppData\Roaming\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win\WinDesktop\net8.0\4.232.2.0\

[DannyRawlings]

I will try and reinstall it as my Roaming folder path looks different to yours

[DannyRawlings]

Still no luck after a reinstall - The version being installed via Visual Studio is older than the release on GitHub. I have also tried to install via the VSIX file but that fails

[DannyRawlings]

Update - I have now tried a different user on my machine and the error is the same. I have also reinstall both .net 7 & 8 sdks

[DannyRawlings]

So - When I first run the editor I see it pop up, the 'Parsing Projects' appears followed by nothing on my screen.

This is the full error I see in the log

Type: InvalidProjectFileException

ok, I have finally figured out how to get it to work. I download the Model zip files and extracted it to the 'Roaming\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win\WinDesktop\net7.0\4.232.4.0' after that it seems to be happy. The issue was that it was not creating the WinDesktop folder

[apobekiaris]

C:\Users\i007106\source\repos\DXApplication2\DXApplication2.Module\DXApplication2.Module.csproj

looks like u testing it with a distributable sample can u share it?

[DannyRawlings]

That was just a sample project I created using the Wizard - I wanted a project that had nothing in it to make sure that my project wasn't causing the issue

[apobekiaris]

if u still have it post it here please

[DannyRawlings]

No probs - see attached

i have pushed a new version for both IDE and tested your solution while first clean the Roaming ME folder and worked fine.

Note, that you should have a folder with the solution targetframework

for me is

C:\Users\Tolis\AppData\Roaming\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win\WinDesktop\net7.0\4.232.4.0\

[expand]

the files are downloaded in the C:\Users\Tolis\AppData\Roaming\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win

previosuly i mentioned that AppData\Local\Xpand\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win\4.232.2.0 looks different, my bad that is also correct is the location of the log. The ME is in C:\Users\Tolis\AppData\Roaming\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win
