MakeEaz Add-In Build Error in Visual Studio 2008

[MaryEllen_Perko]

Hello.  Can anyone tell me what the attached message means.  This is occurring when trying to build a AGX Build 1200 Add-In using Visual Studio 2008.  I was not having any problems with the same Add-In code/VS project until today. I can't think of anything that has changed anywhere.

Thanks,
Mary Ellen

Hi Mary,

I'm wondering you have just updated your Explorer application to build 1500? I think it's possible if you have updated the application, but still have the old 1200 SDK in place, you could get an error like this. The ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Compression.dll assembly makes zip archives, and it's part of the main runtime install, so would be a newer version number, but the Visual Studio tools for explorer would be the old version, so would be looking for the older version of the compression dll.

You can get the updated SDK from this page:

I think I am having a similar issue, but between 1750 and 2012, but even a fresh uninstall, and reinstall of AGX1750 and AGX1750 SDK, I still cannot build an Addin.  Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
