addin users
i have done some addins and they are all working fine.
after i compiled the addin, i dont need to register these addins
now if i let the other users use the addin, what steps they need to do to load the addins into their computers?
thx, chris

i used this script from chris m and couldn't get it work.
what i tried to do here is to save the the dll in the servre so every1 can use it
and if i update the addin, i don't have to send out to every1 the dll file.
question is: if i run the reg file manually, then it works; however, if i tried to run it from .bat file, it doesn't seem to work
here is my reg file
windows registry editor version 5.00
[hkey_local_machine\software\solidworks\addins\{a65d322d-049b-4849-9f32-78a1b0b051bb}]
@=dword:00000001

@="{a65d322d-049b-4849-9f32-78a1b0b051bb}"
thx, chris
and here is the script from chris m
@echo off
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe *path to .dll file* /codebase
regedit.exe /s *path to .reg file*
cls
echo the *addin name* addin has been installed.
echo see the *addin name* pull-down menu in solidworks.

usually i distribute addins w/ install package from vb editor ("antique" vb6). the install takes care of registering the dll with windoze. i include registry key w/ install package.
usually i get the registry key by going to regedit and copying the appropriate key under hkey_local_machine\software\solidworks\addins\{addin classid}, which was created when i originally loaded the addin on my test machine.
i got the error mesg (see the att. image) while using the vb editor to create a setup package

don't even include those files in your package. those files should already be present on user's computer with sw install.
