[Bug]: Installer installs an incorrect .addin file

[IanCundall]

✈ Pre-Flight checks

• I don't have SentinelOne antivirus installed (see above for the solution)
• I have searched in the issues (open and closed) but couldn't find a similar issue
• I have searched in the pyRevit Forum for similar issues
• I already followed the installation troubleshooting guide thoroughly
• I am using the latest pyRevit Version

🐞 Describe the bug

On my machine which has Revit 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024 installed, the pyRevit.addin file is pointing at "C:\Program Files\pyRevit-Master\bin\engines\IPY277\pyRevitLoader.dll"

However, the installer (https://github.com/pyrevitlabs/pyRevit/releases/download/v4.8.16.24121%2B2117/pyRevit_4.8.16.24121_admin_signed.exe) installs to:
"C:\Program Files\pyRevit-Master\bin\engines\CPY385"
"C:\Program Files\pyRevit-Master\bin\engines\IPY340PR"
"C:\Program Files\pyRevit-Master\bin\engines\IPY2711PR"
"C:\Program Files\pyRevit-Master\bin\engines\CPY378"

The same occured on a machine with only Revit 2023 installed.

⌨ Error/Debug Message

Revit versions all pop up the standard "Revit cannot load..." message, pointing to the "missing" assembly.

♻️ To Reproduce

• Install Revit
• Install pyRevit 4.8.16
• Start Revit

⏲️ Expected behavior

Revit should prompt the user to trust the add-in

Additional context

No response

[IanCundall]

No .Ne-Core Target Packs are installed.

I suspect this message should say:
No .Net Core Target Packs are installed.

[jmcouffin]

No .Ne-Core

Typo is fixed in develop-4 branch.
Latest WIP installer will issue the fix.
Thanks,

The rest of the issue is more complicated and will be looked whenever possible

HI @IanCundall,
have you tried to pyrevit attach 2711? the IronPython 2.7.7 engine was removed in the latest version of pyrevit, and it probably the installer didn't update the .addins file to point to the new location.
