Same plugin different computer - gives defect error and ignores

[kdoney]

My development machine is windows 7 and I am using .36 release of mach3. I developed a plugin which works fine on the development platform but when I move it to an xp platform with the same version of mach, I get the defective plugin error and it doesn't load it. Licenses are correct on both machines.

I am having the exact same issue. Are you using the standard SDK with VS 2003 or the MachPluginWizard with VS 2008 Express? I'm using the MachPluginWizard with VS 2008 Express. The weird thing is, i have emailed the plugin to someone else to test and they don't have any issues. But when i took it from my development PC to my machine PC i got the 'plugin defective' error and its ignored.
What version mach are you using?

I think if your using the plugin wizard youll need to have the correct .net framework installed.

On the development machine I am using the wizard from the 2008 converted to 2010. I am using the latest lockdown version. I have .net 4 framework but I can use any you suggest.

[rcrabb]

on the other PC do you have the framework installed?

[kdoney]

That must have been it. Thanks. I should have guessed. I would think I would have gotten a complaint outside of Mach about the missing framework.

yeah, fixed my problem too. thanks. I assumed the latest .NET (available at the time) came with XP SP3. Downloading .NET 3.5 solved it for me.
Thanks again
