Problems transfering 32-Bit .NET Plugins to 64-Bit Windows?

[Schludi]

Hello!

I just have installed Enterprise Architect 13.5 on a new 64 Bit machine and tried to register an older self-made EA Plugin.

The problem is, that it is not appearing in EA 13.5 64-Bit.

I have done the following:

1.) Copied all files to C:\Users\Public\EAAddins\MyAddIn
2.) Created a new registry key entry under HKCU\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins, with the appropriate value:
EADOORSLinkSync: EADOORSLinkSync.EADOORSLinkSyncAddinClass
3.) I went to the directory with an Command Prompt as Admistrator and registred it with
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0\RegAsm.exe "C\Program Files\MyCompany\EAAddin\EAAddin.dll" /codebase

The problem is, that it isn't appearing in EA. Is this because of 64-Bit? Have i exchange EAFramework.dll or s.th. like this?

This is my directory listing:

Is this because of 64-Bit? Have i exchange EAFramework.dll or s.th. like this?
 

No not because of 64 bit windows.
Might be some other issue .
Post the error code which you get in Manage Addin tab

Do you have an installer for the add-in?

There might be something wrong with the registration, or you might be missing a library on your new system.

It usually doesn't have much to do with 32/64 bit.

Hi!

I have an installer but I am currently trying to upload it manually because I cannot find the WIX-Project.

I have looked at the error messages and loaded an external plugin that checks EA DLL Installations.



I have registered and it is appearing but I guess there is something wrong in the registry?

[Geert Bellekens]

Your classes don't seem to be registered properly for COM interop.

Hi thx for your help!

I edited all Registry Keys by hand (the CodeBase Key, which points to the DLL was missing) and even the assembly info (the version) like on the Development System.

Now it works. I do not know why RegAsm hasn't worked correctly.

For the next time i hope i got it much easier :/

I only noticed that RegAsm complaint about unsigned assemblies

I only noticed that RegAsm complaint about unsigned assemblies

I think I remember it doing that all the time, but it still used to work.
But it's a long time since I used regasm.
