Copying a Dll for use on another Computer

[tzafrir]

Hi,

I have places the NewAddIn dll and exported the registry of my current EAAddin setup for the 2nd computer use.
Can someone provide the full necessary steps that are needed in order to install the dll on the 2nd computer?

Thanks.

\WINDOWS\system32\regsvr32.exe /i your.dll

I want to run my NewAddIn on another computer.
Is that all you need to do?
Place is in the registry with path to the dll...

Yes. If your add-in works and the other machine has EA installed it will run after registering it this way.

I follow Geert  instructions first:
1. Copied the dll, pdb and tlb files from Visual Studio bin\debug directory to a specific location on the 2nd computer
2. Run regasm MyAddin.dll /codebase from that specified location
3. Created a .reg file from 1st computer location, and run it on the 2nd computer. double clicked and it put it in the registry of the 2nd computer.

I saw that the new addin appeared on the 2nd computer with an error:
Error - missing (0x800401F3).
Reading about it in google said that registry went wrong (Invalid class string)

Since the dll is working ok on the 1st computer, any ideas what went wrong with this procedure?

thanks,

There's a tool from Adrian that might help you with that.

Thanks a lot Geert.
I was able to create an msi file with your detailed guide.
