Last night I was working on updating a project I had created as a feature within the SDK and came across an interesting scenario where I launched my old project and it didn’t run out of the box. Smart Office would load, prompt me for a password and then display this error message.

The environment I was running against was the new 10.2.x, and the project had been developed against 10.1.1.x IIRC.

I ended up grabbing the new Smart Office SDK for 10.2.x and pointed my projects references to the extracted directory (Projects properties -> Reference Paths)

And then recompiled and I peace in my world was once again a reality :-). Usually I don’t have issues with older projects against newer versions of Smart Office.

(I use the Reference Paths nowadays so I can develop against multiple versions of Smart Office without too many hassles).
