Hi, is there already a solution for this error?

I get the same error message when I try to start the AASX Package Explorer development build 02.03.2020 configured with the Net46AasxServerPlugin.

Steps to reproduce:
I used a batch and options file to start the AAS Package Exlorer and the plug-in.
Before that, I had to fix another error telling me to activate the loadFromRemoteSources switch. Therefore, I inserted <loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true"/> to the AasxPackageExplorer.exe.config file.

Batch file:
cd AasxPackageExplorer
AasxPackageExplorer.exe -options options-test.pref

options-test.pref:
-dll ..\Net46AasxServerPlugin\Net46AasxServerPlugin.dll

Message: Trying load .dll at ..\Net46AasxServerPlugin\Net46AasxServerPlugin.dll

@mySCHOTT How did you successfully use the plugin with build191121?

Starting build191121 with the plugin using the same options file approach as above, I will not get a detailed error log, only "Message: Trying load .dll = ..\build191121\public-release-with-browser\Net46AasxServerPlugin\Net46AasxServerPlugin.dll .."
But when clicking File > Server .. > Plugin OPC UA .. a pop-up window "Plug-in not present" with the following message is shown:
"This function requires a binary plug-in file named 'Net46AasxServerPlugin', which needs to be added to the command line, with an action named 'server-start'. Press 'OK' to show help page on GitHub."

Best regards

With build191121 is working more and less to get a first impression, how it could work.

Please verify, that in the folder Net46AasxServerPlugin you have a copy of libuv.dll (libuv.1.10.0.nupkg). Was missing in the download package.

Starting the aasxExplorer with following command in batch file:
AasxPackageExplorer.exe -maximized -dll ..\AasxPlugInS\Net46AasxServerPlugin\Net46AasxServerPlugin.dll

#############################################
(1) Starting in aasxExplorer: File->Server..->Plugin: OPC Server..

(2) Using any OPC UA client like UaExpert to connect to the OPC UA server via the endpoint url like opc.tcp://localhost:51210/UA/SampleServer and as anonymous:

(3) aasX OPC UA logs:
AasxPackageExplorer_Build191121_OPC_UA_Log.txt

(4) Video:

Many thanks for your detailed answer.

The libuv.dll was indeed missing in the Net46AasxServerPlugin folder. Therefore I created a simple project, added the libuv.1.10.0.nupkg package, and copied the libuv.dll from its build. But I still get the error message when I try to start the server with File->Server..->Plugin: OPC Server.. Tested with the same build version as in your screenshot, both public-release-with-browser and public-release-no-browser, and command AasxPackageExplorer.exe -maximized -dll ..\Net46AasxServerPlugin\Net46AasxServerPlugin.dll.

Does the action 'server-start' need to be specified somewhere? It's not documented on the help page. I guess it is just called by the AASXPackageExplorer when clicking the menu entry.

Are other DLLs missing in the Net46AasxServerPlugin folder?
The following files (incl. the copied livuv.dll) are provided with the Net46AasxServerPlugin.zip:

Would you please verify your folder structure. I assume, that the AasxPackageExplorer.exe doesn't find the pluging, because the releative path is wrong. Please keep in mind, what does *..* (remark with 2 points) mean. Or try a absolute path.

The batch is in the main folder:

What I am doing in my batch:
(1) echo on
(2) change directory .\AasxPackageExplorer
(3) start in this folder the AasxPackageExplorer.exe with commands
(3.1) make a relative to reference to the plugin folder, which is not in the same folder.

echo on
cd .\AasxPackageExplorer
AasxPackageExplorer.exe -maximized -dll ..\AasxPlugInS\Net46AasxServerPlugin\Net46AasxServerPlugin.dll
cd ..\

The folder structure looks a little different provided by the zip package. The batch file start-aasx-explorer-festo.bat is provided in the main folder public-release-with-browser, which also includes the AasxPackageExplorer.exe. My batch is also placed in this folder.

I moved the folder Net46AasxServerPlugin to the same folder level like this main folder.

My batch start-aasx-explorer-my.bat consists of:

echo on
AasxPackageExplorer.exe -maximized -dll ..\Net46AasxServerPlugin\Net46AasxServerPlugin.dll

The batch starts the AasxPackageExplorer.exe in the same folder like the my batch file. For the plug-in it switches one folder above and into the Net46AasxServerPlugin folder. This should match my folder structure.

My folder structure looks like this:

Files in the folder Net46AasxServerPlugin (incl. the Net46AasxServerPlugin.dll) and folder public-release-with-browser (incl. AasxPackageExplorer.exe and start-aasx-explorer-my.bat on the second screenshot):

I checked it again, if I did not make a mistake or typo my relative paths should be fine. Also tried with an absolute path to the plugin, but it's not working.
