If you are experiencing problems converting your IMS files to DMD…

  • Article

<blush>Looks like a bugette crept into the installer for our December release that stops the file conversion tools we provided from working.</blush>

 

To work around this, you need to edit the corresponding .exe.config file for the tool that you want to use.

 

For instance, if you want to convert an ims file to a dmd file then you need to edit ImsToDmd.exe.config which you can find at <VSInstallDir>\Common7\IDE\.

The original file looks like this:

 

<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<probing privatePath="DSLTools;PrimaryInteropAssemblies" />
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>

 

It should be amended to look like this (modification in bold)

 

<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<probing privatePath="DSLTools;PrimaryInteropAssemblies ;PrivateAssemblies" />
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>

 

Hope this unblocks anyone who was stuck.
