Title: Update through replacement of addin-DLL?
Post by: blue5teel on November 10, 2010, 01:52:17 am

Hello Community,

ive made an reporting-addin for ea with c#. Its in use on many machines of a big company.

Now i made some bugfixes and wanted to test it on the machine of an user. But how can i update the addin.
An replacement of the dll does not work. What else do i have to take into account? Reboot of the machine, change of registry keys, Newly register the dll?

I appreciate any hints. Thx

Just a guess - the new DLL probably needs to be registered with the system again using regasm.  See:

Provided that you didn't change any names within the assembly, you shouldn't need to update the registry key referenced by EA (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins).
