MDG technology as exe
« on: July 13, 2009, 06:33:20 pm »
Hello,
I can see from the MDG technologies page that some of the available technologies are distributed as exe files; is there a way to generate an exe installation for a custom MDG technology?
Thanks,
Sue Maurizio

Does it really say that? Some technologies are hard-coded into the EA executable, some are installed as separate .xml files, some are supplied by add-ins (which are .dll files). You can create the separate .xml files or add-ins, but you can't hard-code technologies into EA.

The "exe" distributions you refer to are simply the installers.  After the installation process has completed, you will find that the MDG Technology itself will either be an xml file, or an Add-In DLL as KP mentioned.

You would need to investigate elsewhere how to bundle your MDG Technology into a windows executable installer.  We do not provide any utilities to handle this task.

Thanks for your answers, I think I'll build an executable myself, somehow  :)
