Need help loading custom Add-in

[fourholesn1]

I am trying to create my own Add-In following the directions in the help. I followed the steps for registering the DLL and running the reg file (I used RegAddIn which I got from Bliss's site) and everything seemed to go ok but the Add-In does not appear in Inventor. I also tried registering the AddInSample in the SDK Samples and it won't show either. Anyone know of any reasons why they won't show that I can check out. I looked in the Registry and it appears that the additional info is there.
Thanks, Scott

Forgot to mention I'm running Inv 11 SP1.

It's difficult to find out what the problem might be just with the
description. Since you don't see the AddIn in the list of AddIns displayed
by the AddIn manager, it might be possible that it was not regiserted
properly. Could you check all the Inventor required registry settings (the
GUID for the ImplementedCategories, the SupportedSoftwareVersionEqualTo (or
whatever setting you are using). If the AddIn is properly registered, the
code in your Activate method could be failing, you can test it by having
just a call to display a message box or debug and step through the code in
the Activate method to see if there are any problems.

Venkatesh, thanks for responding. Attached is a screen shot of my registry, see if that tells you what you need to know. If the Add-in was properly registered wouldn't it appear in the add-in list?
Thanks, Scott

You've got "SupportedSoftwareVersionEqualTo" set
to "6..".  This means that the add-in will only work in Inventor
6.

I thought that meant it will work with any version 6 and higher? So should I change it to "11.."?

Hey I changed the "6.." to "11.." and one of the add-in's showed up so I think you're right about that. Not sure why the other two didn't, I'll check their registry settings. Thanks Brian!

If you want it to work with any version of
Inventor version 6 or higher, you need to remove the
"SupportedSoftwareVersionEqualTo" registry key and create a new key named
"SupportedRegistryVersionGreaterThan" and give it a value of
"5.3..".
