I have installed the new Blender BIM add-on, version 0.0.210731
I removed the old add-on first, restarted blender and installed the new add-on.

I made a new very simple IfcProject, then it prompt me to save an IFC file. After I click the export to IFC button in the dialog I get the following console output.

I tried overwriting an existing IFC file, but the same output.

Could be due to a last-minute change, does anyone else see this problem on Windows?

@Coen thanks for the report - yes, as @brunopostle suggests it could be due to a last-minute change. I've reverted it, and replaced the code only for the Windows build. Can you please redownload the latest release from the BlenderBIM Add-on (make sure it is a fresh download), and try again?
@brunopostle do you mind investigating further and seeing if you can replicate, if it is Windows specific, or affects other platforms?

@Moult I don't have Windows machine to test, on Linux 'IFC export' writes a log file as expected.
@Coen do you see a similar error importing an IFC file?

@brunopostle I tried importing an IFC file first with the 'old' add-on still installed. It gave this error.

@Moult
I downloaded a fresh Windows executable and removed the old add-on. In Windows I need to run Blender with Administrator rights to remove the add-on. I tried making a new simple IFC file and overwriting an existing IFC file.

Both work. I get this console output.

@Coen just to be clear: you fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling blenderbim? or you fixed it by downloading blenderbim again and installing this newly downloaded version?

Hello, same issue here on Linux...
Reloading and reinstalling the add-on doesn't solve the issue.

@RLop thanks for the report, I thought it might've been a Windows only version. I've now applied the hotfix to the Linux build. Please redownload the version again from the BlenderBIM.org website and see if that helps.
