Error (Cannot register assembly ... access denied )

Hi Geert,



I used VS2019 community and Enterprise Architect v15.2.1554(Trial Edition
Free 30 day unlimited)


I'm trying to build the toolpack using the 30 day trial version. This is for a POC work to evaluate EA for our application.
We want to integrate our Requirement system with EA. Thought your toolpack(https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Toolpack) is the quickest path for our integration. I've run into the following issue.

I tried various suggestions like removing the com registration etc but no luck. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Run VS as administrator, and make sure you close EA before building

Thanks for the update.i will try that

Thanks for your suggestion Geert, that worked. Now I'm able to build.


I'm trying to get object/model from EA. while run the Sln file (EAMappingApp).
I am facing below mentioned issues.


An unhandled exception has occured .

I tried below solution file to set as start up

EAAddinTester
EAMappingApp
EAValidatorApp
ERXImporter
LicensekeyGenerator
MagicdrawMigrator

which one is better to get object/model from EA?

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Most of the projects are add-ins, that you shouldn't start from VS, they are started by EA (if you set the registry key)

Some others might need EA to be running to be able to connect to the running instance of EA.

Thanks for the update .

Thanks again Geert,


We need to initiate the call to EA from our application. Is there sample code that we can use ? Cheers

I don't know what you mean by that. Can you explain a bit more detailed?

Hello,

EA's API documentation is mostly written with the assumption that you're building either an in-EA script ("Object Model") or an Add-In ("Add-In Model"), both of which execute within the context of an EA process.

If you need to access an EA project from outside of an EA process, you need to start with an EA.App object. This in turn contains an EA.Repository.
Depending on the situation you can either create a new App object, or retrieve one from Windows' list of running processes if you want to connect to an already running instance.

There is a VBScript code sample on the App Object documentation page.
Note, however, that if you create a new App object, the first thing you have to do is either create or open a project using Repository.CreateModel(), .OpenFile() or .OpenFile2(). Until you do, you won't be connected to a project and most of the API won't do anything.

HTH,
