path needed by using Sharpdevelop Software

[Michael co]

I am using Sharpdevelop as a setup tools ,
but my question that I need to install  EA-dll that I developed to my files inside an specific path : for example : I would like to install it in : C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\EA\MyDLL It is mandatory to install in this path,

I did some configurations in Files.wxs like :
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">
    <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles">
        <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="xchangeTools">
                  ....
                  ....
                  ....

               </Directory>
           </Directory>
        </DirectoryRef>

I used some script also like
<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" />
    <Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR">INSTALLDIR</Property>

but i could not install my dll- inside the mentioned directory
which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\EA\MyDLL

Thanks

It's not required (or recommended) to install an add-in dll into the EA install directory. To have EA pick it up you need to register with COM and add a key in one of the following locations in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Sparx Systems\EAAddins (on a 64 bit machine)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins (on a 32 bit machine)

I've written this little tutorial that should help you with that:
Tutorial: Deploy your Enterprise Architect C# add-in with an MSI package
I also use Sharpdevelop and wix. (and I never install my add-ins into the EA installation directory.)
Some examples:
MyAddin_Setup
EANavigator_Setup

It is OK,
Then I will install it on another directory

Thanks a lot.
