Add-In Invalide parameters(topic not in good dir)

[Cisore]

Hi, (It's again me  )

I have make one Add-In with visual studio.
On my computer it's work.

But when I try to distribute them on other computer, it doesn't work.

I have process like Greet said in this topic :
http://geertbellekens.wordpress.com/2011/01/29/tutorial-create-your-first-c-enterprise-architect-addin-in-10-minutes/

but when I run EA, in the Manage Add-in they are : Invalid Parameter(s)  

(I have make a .BAT's file :

Code: [Select]

@echo off

set "VAR=C:\Program Files (x86)\MoodysAddInEA\"

if not exist "%VAR%" md "%VAR%"

reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins\Moodys" /d "Moodys.Main" /f

copy Moodys.dll "%VAR%"

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe "%VAR%Moodys.dll" /codebase
)

If it doesn't work on another computer then there must be something wrong with the installation.
Have you read http://geertbellekens.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/tutorial-deploy-your-enterprise-architect-csharp-add-in-with-an-msi-package/?

Yes I have read that ! But I don't want to pass by a MSI file ! Because in two weeks I go out of this enterprise and in my mind, the other employees could be change a .BAT file more easy than a .MSI file.

My work with the .BAT are incorrect ?

( the error code : Invalid parameter(s), are a error of what ? to call the add-in ? to find the main class ? or to use the method in the main class ?)

[Cisore]

I have try with .MSI file.

(I have make all process in your topic)
But they don't work !

the same error : Invalid parameter(s)

[Cisore]

Someone know where this error come form ?
(Invalid parameters !)

[Geert Bellekens]

Try posting your code.
Maybe that reveals something

the code for the main class !!? :

Code: [Select]

Yes, the main class.
No, I can't see anything obvious.
And if it works on your machine then it must be a problem with dll's not registering properly on the other machine.

And if it works on your machine then it must be a problem with dll's not registering properly on the other machine.

this is what I think !
It's why I wanted to know what the error invalid parameter(s) mind !
(DLL not fund ? dependency not fund ? Both ? other ?)
(Globally, is it a error code precisely or much error can return it ? And how can I have more information on this error ?)

Sorry to persist but a Add-In how can't be deploy on other machine are useless ! :-/

[Geert Bellekens]

I don't know. Have you tried Sparx Support?

Geert

[Cisore]

I succeeded !

I have add the /tlb option to the commande RegAsm
And I have signing the project !

(Proprieties | Signing  | sign the assembly )
