install vb.net addin to the users computers!
i've tried and tried and tried and failed miserably to install an addin created in vb.net to a user computer.
i'm just wondering how you guys here send your addin the the end users? what software (install packate) are you using? or if you please, hight light steps how to install the addin?
thx, chris

there are many many posts on this in the last few weeks you should be able to find one.
all you really need to do to manually install an addin is call regasm on it. you can semi-automate this using batch files or fully automate it using an install package such as visual studio setup projects or installsheild or the likes.
also try if you havent yet the tool available on the solidworks downloads forum!
go to this url:
as i said, i used regasm.exe and it doesn't seem working ... i'm still not sure why
what i would like to know is: what install package you are using and whats your recommendation?

most likely you aren't calling regasm.exe from the folder where it reside or you aren't calling it with the visual studio command line tool (different than cmd).
try using the fully qualified (c:\windows\...regam.exe) path to regasm like this:
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\regasm %1 myapp.dll /codebase
keep in mind that the previous line is specific to the 2.0 .net framework and also to 32bit windows.
good luck,

you are going to have to get solidworks api support involved.

chris,
i think the issue could possibly be due to the solidworks sdk template using a different version of swpublished than that which resides on your computer. are you able to run it on your development computer? check out the post on my blog for debugging your solidworks addin environment for more information about this sort of thing.
