Sandcastle Help File BuilderBE0028: [Plug-in loading error]

Error BE0028: [Plug-in loading error(s)]

Cause

This is a generic catch-all error that occurs when the build process attempts to load plug-ins for use in the build and one or more of them fails to initialize correctly.

Solution

Since this is a generic catch-all error, you will need to refer to the text of the error message in order to determine the exact cause of the problem. Some common issues include:

  • The plug-in was added to the project but was not configured and the default configuration is not valid for use in a build.
  • The assembly for a plug-in referenced in the project does not exist. Place the assembly in the custom plug-ins folder (see the Special Folder Locations topic).
  • The plug-in assembly is compiled against an earlier version of the help file builder and cannot be loaded. Obtain a newer version of the plug-in assembly.

If you are unable to resolve the issue and the plug-in is one of the standard ones supplied with the help file builder, post a message in the Sandcastle Help File Builder Discussion group asking for help. For all third-party plug-ins, contact the author of the plug-in for assistance.
