Is this add-in for Inventor 8? If so, the CLSID is wrong. It should be {39AD2B5C-7A29-11D6-8E0A-0010B541CAA8}, not {E357129A-DB40-11D2-B783-0060B0F159EF}.

I don't know if it's necessary, but at the bottom of the .reg file (in the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{your clsid}\Settings] key), there should be: "Supported SoftwareVersionGreaterThan" = "5.." or "5.3." or "6..", whichever minimum version your addin requires.

This is for Inventor 8 So I used the CLSID {39AD2B5C-7A29-11D6-8E0A-0010B541CAA8}
in the install
when i go into inventor 8 i see the addin but it is still unloaded
do i need to uninstall first

Hello, Run regsvr32 on the DLL before you uninstall everything, tripped me up a couple of times, very similar symptons as you explain. HTH Scott
