Debugging missing dependencies for addon packages
Hello Dan.
This is fixed in 7.5. If you have the add-on package file, you can try to install it using the “Manual Upload” option in the Add-On system UI. It reports some details when it fails.

This thread is locked and should be used for reference only. Please use the Episerver CMS 7 and earlier versions forum to open new discussions.
The addon store in episerver 7 will only display the addons that can be installed (whos dependencies can be fulfilled). If you have a dependency that cannot be found then the addon will not be displayed.
So far so good.
If I would like to understand what dependency that fails then I can activate logging for the EPiServer.Packaging logger. I'll get something like below.

Here I can see that the package manager checks if the ImageVault.AddOn.EPiCMS7 package can be installed and that it tries to resolve a couple of dependencies. After each dependency has been checked, the result is that the package cannot be installed.
To my question. How can I know what dependency failed? (In this case Meridium.lib.dll was not present in the bin folder). Can the result of each dependency be logged so it is easier to check?
