Addin Installation problems

[szucconi]

While I was developing an addin in VS 2005 I had the Register for COM interop checked, so it registered the dll when I built the project.  The addin works and is fully installed on my machine.  Now when I try to deploy the addin to another computer, I can't get the dll registered.  I try to use regsvr32, but it gives me an error "Addin.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered."  EA gives me a standard missing addin error at startup, so I know this isn't a problem with EA or the rest of the addin installation, but maybe someone has run into the same problem.  Short of installing VS 2005 on the other machine and recompiling, I don't know what to do.

Hello szucconi,
What language are you using? I am assuming it is a .NET language (else it would be unmanaged C++).
For .NET dll deployment, make sure the dll is in your EA root directory and then use regasm to register. You will need to have the .NET framework installed.

Open a dos prompt, browse to your latest .Net framework directory in my case its:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

Type regasm, then drop your dll into the DOS window and hit enter. This should successfully register the dll. Providing all your registry settings are correct, you should have a working Add-in.


Best Regards.
