How to register an SolidWorks Addin

[christopher_loe]

Hi,
I try to create a setup for a SolidWorks Addin and I don't have any idea how to create registry keys while running the .msi.
I am not aware of all registry keys which are necessary to run the Addin.
Normally I run a batch file which does all the registry stuff.

See example for 64bit:

"%Windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\regasm.exe" /nologo /codebase "C:\UGS\Tools_SW_TC\bin\Tools_SW_TC.dll"

Is it possible to implement this in the setup project without knowing about all registry key which are created by this command?

Thanks for any help in advance

Hi,

You could try creating a EXE custom action or another custom action type that runs that command if it creates all the registry for you.

I could try this, but how run this exe within the msi?

Hi,
I think I found how to implement an exe file in the installer.
Thanks for your help.
