Scada.Internal.DotNetAddInExtension.AddInIntegration.Startup Cannot startup Add-In .NET Extension for instance id 'e1d3....'. Exception information:System.InvalidOperationException The sequence does not contain a matching element. ...

...the reason for error is most likely in the AddIn itself.

The AddIn crashes before it reaches the 'Start' or 'Run' method. This could be because of a not existent library or a missing package.
