Outdated Add-On that cannot be used with this ArchiCAD

Anonymous — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 14:36:07 GMT

Hello
I use:
- Documentation for API Development Kit 11.21
- ArchiCAD 11 (demo mode)

Compiled the example "Interface_Functions" in VS 2003 and tried to run it in ArchiCAD.

Options-Add-On Manager shows the information: "The file is an outdated Add-On that cannot be used with this ArchiCAD version."

Please help me how to fix my problem.

There could be many reasons for this. I know others have had this problem, and a search of this forum might help.

Some things to check: make sure the resources aren't missing from the final build. I would also recommend doing a thorough clean of the project because VC++ sometimes gets confused about what's up to date and what isn't. Also, double check you are using the correct devkit for AC11 and linking against the correct libraries.

BTW - it's not a good idea to post the same question in two different threads.

Compiled the example "Interface_Functions" in VS 2003 on the other computer.
It has turned out to start in ArchiCAD.

Probably prevented installed VS 2005.

Ralph Wessel, many thanks for the help:)
