Issue
When opening an application file in Workplace Tech 5.x, the following error message appears:
"AppXMLAddon error code: -##########" "unknown error." (where # = random numbers)
Environment
Workplace Tech 5.X
Cause
This error is caused by an illegal character in the application's nciLocation snvt. The character looks like a bold vertical line. WorkPlace Tech 4.0 did not have an issue with this character but WorkPlace Tech 5.x generates the above error.
Resolution
To eliminate the error:
- Open the application with WorkPlace Tech 5.x and continue to click OK until the drawing opens.
- Locate the nciLocation snvt and check its initial value.
- Delete the unknown character from that entry field, and re-compile the application.
