Add-in not registering

[philchudley]

Hi All

I have written an Add-in using c# and Visual Studio 2008, the target build is .NET 3.5

All works well under Visual Studio, however when I try to deploy to a client's machine, the registration of the add-in dll fails.

I have followed the details in EA user Guide 7.1 page 1335 section 16.5.1.1.2 which states that the .dll is stored somewhere and then registered using regsvr32, but I receive the following error:

Add-in.ddl was loaded but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found

The file cannot be registered

I have set the Visual Studio build options to Register for COM interop and the configuration is Active (Debug)

What am I missing or doing wrong?

I always get the error no matter where the .dll is stored.

Cheers

Phil

Hi Phil,

I think you are using the wrong registration tool. See this post for details.

Try regasm.exe.

Visual Studio does not create entry points for regsvr32 (no support for self registration as it used to be called in the old COM days), but .Net runtime (or SDK) includes regasm.exe as a tool to write COM keys for .Net assemblies to the registry.
