Title: Add-In Error "EANavigator missing"
Post by: olli_s on September 10, 2012, 11:04:00 pm

Hi, I just installed EANavigator Version 2.2 as an Add-In to EA 9.3.935. The installation itself was a success but when I look at "Extensions->Manage Add-Ins.." I read "Error-Missing"  :-?. Any help would be welcome.

Make sure your system has the required components installed (.NET 4)

Also make sure that the add-in dll can be found in the location it was registered in windows. To do this:

- Check if the add-in is listed in the windows registry: there should be an entry for EA Navigator below HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddIn.
- If the entry is there, copy its value (in my case: TSF.UmlToolingFramework.EANavigator.EAAdd-in and search the registry for entries with this value. There should be a class entry that contains apart from this field several other keys. If you find it check if the EANavigator DLL is located where key codebase indicates.

regards,

Paulus

It was indeed .net 4 that was missing. Thank you very much. :D

Yes, sorry, I should have really added some kind of check in the installer for .Net 4, but I still have to figure out how to add that.

If anyone has already done such a thing in a Wix installer, please let me know.

Hi Geert,

in our InnoSetup-installer we use the following:

function InitializeSetup(): Boolean;
begin
      Result := true;

  Result := RegKeyExists(HKLM,'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4');
  if Not Result then
  begin
    MsgBox( 'The Corscience Enterprise Architect Add-In requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile.'#13#13
            'Please use Windows Update to install this version, and then re-run this setup program.', mbError, MB_OK);
    Exit
  end

Greetings

Stefan

Ok, thanks Stefan.
Checking for the existence of a reg key might indeed be easiest solution.

I was thinking about some kind of tool that automatically downloaded and installed .Net, I don't really find the time to implement that.

Adding the check for the reg key will probably be a lot quicker to implement.
