Can't find netTiers_cst.cs

 I just downloaded NetTiers 2.2.0.603 and CodeSmith 4.1.2. I copied the NetTiers over to a project directory and double-clicked it. I got the following message:

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\lars\Application Data\CodeSmith\v4.1\Template Cache\NetTiers_cst.cs' (DirectoryNotFoundException).

 So I am stuck. Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it?

 Thanks, Lars

 

Hi Lars,

I have had the same problem, only mine started as soon as I paid for a Standard Edition license after using the free trial.  The standard edition does not use the template cache whereas the professional one does.  This means that for s standard edition license, the 'Template Cache' directory is not present in the 'Application Data\CodeSmith\v4.1' directory (in fact it is even deleted if you create it manually).

I have raised a 'premium support' call and will post the answer here when I get it.

 System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\alex.brooker\Application Data\CodeSmith\v4.1\Template Cache\NetTiers_cst.cs'.

Codesmith support replied very quickly with the solution:

 From a command prompt enter:

cs /resetconfig

and enter 'y' to confirm.  Warning, you will lose all user config settings.

cheers,
