Title: Activation Add-In in Registry
Post by: defi on June 28, 2012, 06:02:16 am

Hi!
I have a problem with the activation of the Add-In that I created in Visual Studio C#. I've done it before and it worked untill today. I have the following file:

Code: [Select]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins\NeatDiagram]@="NeatDiagram.Main"
and it worked before to insert the registry and activate the add-in. But today i compiled the project in visual studio, activated enterprise architect and the add-in was gone. I can't activated anymore. I haven't changed anything significant in my project so i don't understand why it happened so suddenly.

Can someone help me?

I've learned to love this hide and seek like a PITA. Look into Extensiosn/Manage Add-ins... Likely you will find some stupid message that the add-in has an "Error".

I looked and i get "error-missing" but i have never deleted it or move it so i don't get it why for enterprise architect it result missing. So it's normal this hide and seek add-in? I'm freaking out  ;D

Yep. This "missing" is very helpful, isn't it. I know that by heart. Of course it was me doing something wrong, but this message is just a PITA. At least EA could pop up with some "Hey, your add-in behaved wrong, I've turned it off now". But it silently turns the key and locks you out. Gnnnnn..
