I am trying to create an addin for the first time. After reading the help file It says to use the Inventor Addin Wizard. I ran both the UserTools.msi and the DeveloperTools.msi and even restarted my computer. The wizard still does not show up when I select new project in VB2010 express. I'm using Inventor 2013.
Please help thanks!
Thanks for the reply Ryan!
I ran InventorWizards.msi also. The wizard just does not show up in the New Project list. Is there a way to browse for the wizard template in vb.net?
Hi Mike,
I believe the installer was not tested on VS Express. Try the suggestion at this post:

I tried it moving the files as per the links suggestion but still no luck. 😞
Hi Mike,
Maybe using a tool like processmonitor will help:

I set the filter to only include a path with the name of the zip. (VBInventorAddInTemplate) When I start a new project in VB express I see in Processmonitor the zip file being accessed in this directory:
C:\Users\brillw\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VBExpress\10.0\ProjectTemplatesCache\VBInventorAddInTemplate.zip\MyTemplate.vstemplate
Also I see the "Autodesk Inventor AddIn" under Intstalled Templates >Visual Basic". (not under Autodesk)
Thanks,
Wayne
