Check for installed addins

[FloH]

I am working on an EA addin which should perform certain actions only if the user has MDG Link for DOORS installed. Is there a way to check for installed/loaded addins ?
Best regards,

Could the Techology Events be of any use? (EA_OnPreActivateTechnology,...)

Hi Geert,
unfortunately it seems to be only called once at startup with technologyID being "<global>". Am I doing something wrong? Do you know maybe of any enum object I might "ask"?
Best regards,

There is no event or method in the automation interface to query other Add-Ins that are currently running in EA.  One way to perhaps detect if MDG DOORS has been installed would be to check the windows registry.

Check for the existence of the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins\DOORS]

This doesn't necessarily guarantee the Add-In is running, but hopefully might do the job.

This will do for my purpose. Thanks a lot! I totally forgot about this kind of option.
