The problem is an implementation of a extension for the Active Directory
users and computers snap in
in the microsoft management console.
Language: c#
Platform Windows XP
Only the Computers Object is to be extended.
[SnapInSettings("{{FE2EE5B3-8BEE-4729-B959-50A69C423FA2}}",
DisplayName = "- Computer Info",
Description = "Adds a Property Page to Computer
Management")]
[ExtendsNodeType("{bf967a86-0de6-11d0-a285-00aa003049e2}")]//
computer in ad users and computers
I can't use the register option of the Visual Studio, because I have
to install the extension on all computers in the network by a batch
job.
So I tried copying the DLL in die Windows\system32 folder and used the
tool regasm "C:\windows\system32\propext.dll"
Here I'm getting the message that it registered successfully.
But I can't find the extension in the MMC under computers.
so I tried installutil.exe, which sais:
Ausnahmefehler beim Suchen der Installer in der Assembly
C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC
_MSIL\RuagProp\1.2.7.0__f48f104487524ced\RuagProp.dll.

Die Installation von
C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\RuagProp\1.2.7.0__f48f10448752
4ced\RuagProp.dll wird abgebrochen.
Während der Installationsphase ist eine Ausnahme aufgetreten.
System.InvalidOperationException: Die Installertypen in der Assembly

assembly\GAC_MSIL\RuagProp\1.2.7.0__f48f104487524ced\RuagProp.dll können

Die interne Ausnahme System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException wurde mit
fol
gender Fehlermeldung ausgelöst: Mindestens ein Typ in der Assembly kann

laden werden. Rufen Sie die LoaderExceptions-Eigenschaft ab, wenn Sie
weitere In
formationen benötigen..
meaning: a type in the assembly is missing.
So I tried using the autoregister function of VS2005. But here i get the
error:
Fehler 10 Die C:\1\bin\Debug\RuagProp.dll-Assembly kann nicht registriert
werden. Die Datei oder Assembly Microsoft.ManagementConsole, Version=3.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 oder eine Abhängigkeit davon
wurde nicht gefunden. Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
meaning: the assembly can't be registered. The File or Assembly
Microsoft.ManagementConsole ... or a Dependency is missing. Can't find the
file.
So I reinstalled MMC3.0, Windows SDK, copied the
microsoft.managementconsole.dll and MMCFxCommon.dll in the folder of the
Project, deleted the reference for managementconsole.dll and reloadet the one
from the project folder.
still i can't register the project.
Am I missing some steps in registering or why the Snap In is not showing?
Here is documented how to add a Property Sheet "AD Users and Computers Snap
In" in the MMC 3.0: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms692751.aspx
My Code is also based on this example.
I already had this Extension showing in the user-node of the "AD Users and
Computers Snap In" last year.
I thought, I just have to change the ID of the extended node into the
computer object of this snap in. (took it from here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms680987.aspx), but that doesn't
work. I could not find anything how to solve this problem.
I also generated a new GUID and changed it.
But strangehow I can't register the changed one.
I also checked if it is a strong name, here the sn return:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC>sn -v
C:\1\bin\debug\ruagprop.dll
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework-Dienstprogramm für starke Namen
Version 2.0.50727.42
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
The Assembly "C:\1\bin\debug\ruagprop.dll" is valid.
--> strong name
(I included a Key in the Compiler)
So that is not the problem.
Here is the Code of the Extension.cs :
