    Hello Mounir,

    When you check the second to the last error, object Ex_Dimension is present in 2 différents models.

    Check for it in the AOT explorer and delete it from one Model and rebuild.

    If i try to delete the model  that has this object using cmd, im getting error saying "this app cant run on this pc,to find a version for your pc, check with the software publisher.

    and thats the command that i am executing:

    C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\bin>ModelUtil.exe -delete -metadatastorepath="C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory" -modelname="Ex_Deleterecord"

    I never said you should delete the model. Please, delete the object from One of the models.

    You can do this from the model folder in PackageLocalDirectory.

    Run the program as administrator.

    But, do you think deleting the model is the best way? Aren't there other objects in the model you want to delete?

    Hello sir,

    I am running CMD as admin, but still getting same error message.

    also i moved all objects from this model to a new one, so i need to delete the old model since its useless.

    Hi Mounir,

    [quote user="MounirDev"]also i moved all objects from this model to a new one, so i need to delete the old model since its useless.[/quote]

    That's is to say the original issue(error from Visual studio) had been resolved.

    If using ModelUtil.exe is still giving you an issue, please delete the model folder by...
