Problems when creating a kendo mvc project with VS extension

[Danilo]

Hi!

I am trying to start a kendo mvc project with VS extension. However, when I use the wizard, it fails and I get this error:

An error occured while running the wizard.

Error executing custom action Telerik.KendoUI.Mvc.VSX.Actions.CopyResourcesAction: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Kendo.Mvc, Version=2013.2.716.340, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4' or one of its dependencies.

Does anyone know what it is happening?

Thanks!

Hi Danilo,

Did you try to reinstall the extensions? Use the Extension Manager (Tools | Extensions Manager...) to uninstall and install them in case you didn't.

Please let me know if that helps.

I have the similar issue.

When I creating new Kendo project in VS 2012 I getting the following error:

Error occured while running wizard.

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)
   at EnvDTE80.Solution2.GetProjectTemplate(String TemplateName, String Language)
   at Telerik.VSX.Helpers.ProjectTemplateHelper.GetProjectTemplatePath(String templateZipFileName, DTE dte, ProjectLanguage projectLanguage, TargetFramework targetFramework)
   at Telerik.KendoUI.Mvc.VSPackage.VSTemplateEntryPointWizard.RunFinished()
   at Telerik.VSX.VSPackage.WizardBase.<Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateWizard.IWizard.RunFinished>b__3()
   at Telerik.VSX.VSPackage.WizardBase.CatchExceptionAndSendReport(Action action)

In VS 2010 all work fine.

Uninstall and reinstall the extension is not helped.

P.S.
You have misspell in error message "Error occured while running wizard." Correct variant is "Error occurred while running wizard."

I get the same error.  I can not create a VS Kendo MVC project in VS 2012 Ult  (Win 8.1) using latest Nov 20 release.  I tried it at work and at home.  Same result.  I  uninstalled and re-installed. Same.   I have no problems creating a project with Telerik ASP.Net or Reporting or WinForms.  Just Kendo MVC.

Thanks

Hi Rick and Alex,

The error that Danilo has observed is different.

For the error that Alex posted, the most probable cause is that the target framework of the project was set to .NET Framework 4.5.1. The Visual Studio Extensions for Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC are currently not supporting it. We will implement and release .NET Framework 4.5.1 support in the Visual Studio Extensions for Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC soon. Meanwhile I would suggest you using .NET 4.5 as a target framework for your Kendo projects.

Alex, thank you very much for showing us the typo. We will correct it in the next VSExtensions builds.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Yup...  I was set to Framework 4.5.1
I switched to 4.5 and life is good again.

Thanks
