I don't like installing new MC12 versions because every time there's an update I have to rebuild my client/server automation apps that I use to listen to my music. Well I updated to 12.0.475 this week to troubleshoot a problem I was having with non-DRM iTunes files, only to discover that I'm no longer able to import Media Center 12.tlb as a reference into my C# project. When I try to add the reference, I get the following error:
A reference to Media Center 12.tlb could not be added. Please make sure that the file... (yada yada)
I am browsing directly to the file, and use this same method every time I have to rebuild my apps to accomodate MC12 updates. I just tried importing the old "Media Center.tlb" from MC11 and that still works fine, but the 12.0.475 version of the Media Center 12.tlb is acting like it's not a valid file.
Strangely, I CAN inspect the file's interfaces in VS.NET's object viewer, but it simply will not import into the project now.
Can anyone else verify whether this is the case? I'm running VS.NET 2005 with Service Pack 1, in a C# automation project, with the 12.0.475 build of Media Center installed.
Thanks.
