Problems trying to develop a WDE extension

Hello.

I’m trying to develop my first WDE extension (I did some work on IWS before). I created a new project on Visual Studio 2012, set WDE as the external startup project and added all the Genesyslab.* DLLs as references. I can build the project (generate), but when I try to debug it I get the following error:

Resolution of the dependency failed, type = "Genesyslab.Desktop.Infrastructure.IBootstrapController", name = "". Exception message is: The current build operation (build key Build Key[Genesyslab.Desktop.Infrastructure.IBootstrapController, null]) failed: The current type, Genesyslab.Desktop.Infrastructure.IBootstrapController, is an interface and cannot be constructed. Are you missing a type mapping? (Strategy type BuildPlanStrategy, index 3)

Does anyone know what the problem may be?

Thanks in advance.

In what version of .Net did you build the project?

.Net Framework 4.5 and 4.5.1. This also happens when I try to build the Extension Sample.

Oh, I had forgotten about this thread, sorry. I “solved” this problem by switching from Windows 10 to Windows 7 and starting over.

Hello,

Was switching from W10 to W7 your fix?

I’m facing the same issue than you, but I’m in W7 so for that there’s no problem, I developed my WDE extension in framework 4.5,
Any idea of what could be causing this issue?

Regards.

I’m afraid I can’t tell exactly what the fix was. I do know I was running Windows 10 on a virtual machine and that was known to cause problems, so I switched to Windows 7, but I also redid the project from scratch, so there may have been a problem in the old version of the project which did not arise in the newer one, or perhaps it was, indeed, a Windows compatibility issue.
