<p>If your SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional 2012 or earlier version add-in application
is compiled using Microsoft Visual Studio and a .NET Framework version
other than version 2.0, then SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional may show the following message when you
try to load the
add-in:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
“The Archive Server could not open the Windows Registry.”<br>
&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt">C# or VB.NET</font><p>To
solve this problem, try changing your add-in project’s target framework to .NET
Framework 2.0:</p></li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li class=kadov-p>Right-click the project in the <b>Solution Explorer</b>.</li>
<li class=kadov-p>Select <b>Properties</b>.</li>
<li class=kadov-p>Click <b>Compile &gt; Advanced Compile Options</b>.</li>
<li class=kadov-p>Select .NET Framework 2.0.</li>
<li class=kadov-p>Click <b>OK</b>.</li>
</ol>
<p>After changing your project’s target framework to .NET Framework 2.0, you might
no longer be able to reference the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional
<i>nnnn</i>
Type Library (<b>EdmInterface.dll</b>), because Visual Studio created the DLL using the latest version of .NET Framework,
but you just changed the
project to target an earlier version of .NET Framework (2.0). If you encounter this
problem, you can generate a compatible SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional primary interop
assembly by using the Microsoft's Type Library Importer (<b>TlbImp.exe)</b> that is
included in an earlier
version of the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK.</p>
<ol>
<li class=kadov-p>Download and install a version of .NET Framework SDK that is
compatible with your add-in project's version.</li>
<li class=kadov-p>Open a Windows Command Prompt.</li>
<li class=kadov-p>Navigate to <b>C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v</b><i>x.x</i><b>\Bin</b>
in which the earlier .NET Framework version of <b>TlbImp.exe</b> is
installed.</li>
<li class=kadov-p>Type<b> TlbImp.exe </b><i>install_dir</i><b>\EdmInterface.dll /sysarray /out:Interop.EdmLib.dll /namespace:EdmLib. </b></li>
<li class=kadov-p>Modify all add-in examples in this help file to use
the new interop ssembly.</li>

This problem can occur at runtime if the add-in failed to register its DLL
during the build process. To solve this problem, ensure that your add-in
registers the DLL: <br>

<li>Right-click the project in the <b>Solution Explorer</b>.</li>
