I don’t know if this helps but this is from event viewer on my machine:

PerfWatson2 (3844,D,12) ContextReaderWriter db944be4472c434797f456b4bae177c93844_637184334140270072: The database format feature version 9080 (0x2378) could not be used due to the current database format 1568.20.0, controlled by the parameter 0x410022D8 (8920 | JET_efvAllowHigherPersistedFormat).

You need to download the library files and put them in your Epicor folder.

Hi Jose,
Sorry i just noticed i use the wrong version of VS and I just download the VS Code and follow the full instruction and all step again.
When come to the end I try to lunch the Epicor ToolBox I hit the following error in my VS Code.

Command ‘Epicor Customization (TOOLBOX)’ resulted in an error (command ‘extension.launchwitht’ not found)

Any Idea please?

Vincent I’m confused are you using Visual Studio or VS Code? I recommend you use Visual Studio.

Vincent · July 14, 2020, 12:15am

Hi Jose, actually I has try both, for Visual Studio I able to run the Customization tool, just when I hit the Tool button my Visual Studio is blackout and automatically restart again, I able to call out my code without any issue, just when hit the tools button then my VS been restart.

Vincent · July 14, 2020, 12:59am

Thank you for creating this extension, looks fabulous.

I am having some issues with uploading code for seemingly random customizations. After some digging I think it has to do with the Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject calls located in EpicorTWControl.xaml.cs when it’s parsing the CustomizationInfo.json file. In my particular case the Version field is a value of 6479548074, and the VSExtension.CustomizationClass.Version field is an Int32.

Attaching the debugger shows the following:

Exception thrown: 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException' in Newtonsoft.Json.dll
An unhandled exception of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException' occurred in Newtonsoft.Json.dll
JSON integer 6479548074 is too large or small for an Int32. Path 'Version', line 1, position 934.

It’s a bit obfuscated in the Event Viewer though, showing as this:

Application: devenv.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319

I apologize for not just submitting a pull request but I can’t quite seem to get the epicor-editor-helper project to build on my computer.
