Solidworks Add-in

[Rodney Michels]

I have created a Solidworks Add-in using VB.Net and Solidworks's
Template. When I did my first debug, it adds that DLL into my
installation of Solidworks. Here are my two questions.

How do I deploy this to multiple machines?

How do I properly uninstall it from a machine?

Thanks,
Rodney

First question: Create a Setup Project in your solution. Then
run the built msi/exe file on the target machines.

Second question: If you followed my suggestion above, simply
uninstall it from the control panel add/remove programs.

In the past I have had problems getting the MSI to properly register on x64 machines.   If that happens you need to use the following command line to install

C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework64\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe "<Path to your dll"> /CODEBASE

One last comment, on some x64 machines you have to sign with a strong
password.

I have the following problem, I try to open the dll in solidworks, but
it shows error saying: Unable to initialize add-in component. Use
solidworks 2009sp4 and created the dll in visual studio 2008, can
someone help me?

That's probably because your code contains errors. Try to debug it.

If your problem persists please send me an e-mail with your code. If
you speak portuguese, manda-me em português :)
