Issue/Introduction:
- When opening projects from Clarity PPM to Microsoft Project (MSP), receive Run-time Error '53': File not found: caMspXml.dll or Run-Time Error '28' - Out of Stack Space.
This issue typically occurs right after upgrading the MSP Interface.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Navigate to a project in PPM
- Click the "Open in Scheduler" drop down on the Project Properties or Tasks tab
- Select Microsoft Project [Read-Write] or Microsoft Project [Read-Only]
Expected Result: Project opens successfully in MSP
Actual Result: The following error appears in MSP:
Run-time Error '53': File not found: caMspXml.dll or Run-Time Error '28' - Out of Stack Space and the project does not open.
Cause:
This can be due to the Visual Basic modules not being upgraded successfully.
Environment:
Release: All Supported Releases
Component: CA Clarity PPM Microsoft Project
Resolution:
Uninstall CA Clarity Addin (Schedule Connect and Microsoft Project Interface can be left installed)
1. In MSP, clear out Visual Basic:
- Go to View > Macros > Visual Basic
- Expand ProjectGlobal then Expand Modules
- Delete the modules that start with either CA_ and Niku_
- Expand Microsoft Project Objects, Double-click on Thisproject
- Select everything in the right panel and delete it
- Save and exit Visual Basic
2. Check Macro Security:
- Go to View > Macros > Macro Security.
- Change Macro Settings to 'Enable all macros' (This can cause issues during the install)
3. Uninstall the CA Clarity Addin:
- Go to your Control Panel->Programs and Features
- Uninstall the CA Clarity Addin (Leave CA PPM Schedule Connect and CA PPM Microsoft Project Interface installed)
4. Reinstall the CA Clarity Addin from the addin folder:
- Navigate to the following folder directory: CA\PPM\CA PPM MSPInterface\addin
- Double click setup.exe to run through the install process for the Addin
5. If the above doesn't help, do a clean uninstall of MSP using the steps documented in
KB000045862 (Also check for multiple instances of any of the CA PPM MSP components installed in Uninstall a Program and uninstall)
