because .net addins need to be registered with regasm.exe
thx, luke
it's what i have in my new install.bat - see the following 2 lines:
regasm.exe myaddin.dll
regedit.exe /s myregister.reg
any by the way, do i have to copy the while bin dir. or just a main dll file to the install dir.

just the .dll file unless your library references or uses any other files, which it usually doesn't.
you need to run regasm with the /codebase parameter to in order to create the com entry in the registry, unless you are copying the dll to the gac
thx, luke
plese help me understand this
i created an addin using vb.net and ofcourse i saved the project in the local c drive. during the test and debug, i run the addin manually by using the solidworks open files and select addin(*.dll)
i finished the project and save the addin dll file in the server so everyone can share. i also created the install.bat in the same dir. on the server
i tried to run the install.bat from the server to intall the addin into my solidworks and it works fine
however, i checked the location of the addin using tools>addins... and the addin path still shows in the c-drive?

post the install.bat code here
here is th install.bat
regasm.exe testaddin.dll /codebase
regedit.exe /s register.reg

just delete the entries manually in the registry hkey_local_machine\software\solidworks\addins\ and delete the folder with your class id. then try again
luke,
i manually deleted all registry in hklm and classid and rerun the install.bat
the addin's path is still in c-drive
i then uninstall and move the dll in c to different location and run the install again and open solidworks and i got the mesg: sw can find the dll path
it's totally weird - never seen some like this with vb6 addin

check the comregister and comunregister functions within the dll addin project and post that snippet here
here is the reg file - the unreg is similar with an adding (-) sign
