Getting the Basic Add-in to work /be visible in EA
« on: January 04, 2007, 01:28:45 pm »
I'm using a Trial version of EA 6.5 and I have tried to create a Basic Add-In for EA as given as an example in
http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/bin/CS_AddinFramework.zip

I have followed the steps mentioned in the readme.txt and
- I'm able to compile my project without any errors and warnings,
- I have registered the registry key using regasm (this is NOT mentioned in the readme.txt
- When I hit F5 within Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition with EA closed, EA is launched, but I don't see the Add-In in the Add-Ins.

What am I doing wrong or doesn't the trial version of EA support add-ins?  ???

First thing to try if the Add-In menu doesn't show is to reset your menu: Tools | Customize | Menu | Reset.

This was really a newbie RTFM mistake :-[Apparently I should NOT have used the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparkx Systems\EA400\EA\AddIns (which seems logical as it is created during installation). But to use the location as indicated in the readme.txt HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins\CS_AddinFramework

I'm now able to see the Add-in but hope not to come across the problem mentioned in http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Automation;action=display;num=1125541266;start=1#1 by vanWeyden and thomaskilian.
