Title: dll in the same directory
Post by: ilaiza on May 25, 2005, 04:17:21 am

Hi to everybody,
i have a dll written in visual studio.net and when i register it by regasm.exe... the registration comes carried out correctly but EA give me an error in loading the add-in if the dll is not in the same directory of ea.exe! if i copy the dll in the same directory of ea.exe this error doesn't appear. why? what is the reason? Any suggestion is appreciated.

Sorry for my english...  ;D

Hello ilaiza,
I think to best answer your question; I would recommend reading this page: http://sparxsystems.com.au/resources/developers/autint_vb_calling_from_ea_addin.html

It explains how to setup and deploy a DLL for EA. Basically the .dll file doesn't need to be in the EA directory, as long as you run the regsvr32 command to register it.
