Hi Benjamin,

Thanks for finding this. I already fixed and uploaded a new MSI.

Thanks,

The Problem

I installed the Setup (February 2008 CTP installer) and when I tried to transform a TT file with TTxGen I only got the following error messages:

Failed to load Assembly 'file:///C:/Work/MS/TTxGen/TTxGen/bin/Debug/TTxGen.dll' for registered directive processor 'TTxGenDirectiveProcessor'
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:/Work/MS/TTxGen/TTxGen/bin/Debug/TTxGen.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

A processor named 'TTxGenDirectiveProcessor' could not be found for the directive named 'ParentFileInjector'. The transformation will not be run. The following Exception was thrown:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:/Work/MS/TTxGen/TTxGen/bin/Debug/TTxGen.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Analysis

It seems there is still a wrong file reference from the development computer in the setup file. This reference points to file:///C:/Work/MS/TTxGen/TTxGen/bin/Debug/TTxGen.dll but shoult point to something like file:///C:/Program files/TTxGen/TTxGen.dll

This value is stored in the registry so you can easily correct it. Open regedit and search for the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\TextTemplating\DirectiveProcessors\TTxGenDirectiveProcessor there you can change the value of the CodeBase entry.

As I looked into the msi file a saw that another registry value was created with the correct file name. I hope the next setup will be fixed.

Have fun
