How to: Troubleshoot Missing Plugin References

The article provides information on how to Troubleshoot Missing Plugin References.

Missing Plugin Reference

DriveWorks will automatically launch the Project Repair Tool if any plugin references are missing. See image below:

The error message shows the plugin references that are missing.

Why Does This Error Message Appear?

This error message is displayed when you open a project that has a reference to a plugin feature, such as a function or task, where that plugin is not installed on that computer. This maybe because the project was created on a different machine or the plugin (PowerPack) has been uninstalled.

How to Fix the Missing Plugin

Cancel the Project Repair Tool message, close DriveWorks and install the missing plugin to fix the error.

If the plugin is no longer required in the project the reference can be removed.

Using the Repair Project Tool

There are two options for repairing your project, these are:

• Find Reference - Will locate the missing plugin files
• Remove Reference - Will delete the reference

Find Reference

Use this if you are sure the plugin is installed and you know the location to where the .dll files were installed to.

1. Select the reference from the Repair Project dialog.
   Multiple references to the same plugin can be selected by holding the CTRL key while selecting each reference.
2. Click Find Reference.
3. Browse to the location of the plugin .dll file and select it.

Remove Reference

Use this if the plugin reference is no longer required in the project.

1. Select the reference from the Repair Project dialog.
   Multiple references to the same plugin can be selected by holding the CTRL key while selecting each reference.
2. Click Remove Reference.
3. Click Yes on the warning message.

   

   All missing references will be deleted from the project. Please ensure your project is functioning as expected once this has been done.
