Make an addin usable by everybody

[Anonymous]

Hello !

I've developed an addin with Visual Studio for Revit and I would like to know how to give it to someone else.

Is it indispensable that my colleague install Visual Studio and run the project ?

Can I give him only the files (with the .addin file) , and, if we put it in the correct location, make sure that this will work properly ?

Best regards,

GM

Hi there buddy,

Copy your files x.addin and x.dll

to the folder, change the year where required...

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2017\

make sure view hidden system files is turned on so they can see the programData folder

happy coding!

Hi @Anonymous

Are you sure this is enough ? It won't be necessary to launch it once with visual studio ?

Phil is correct. The .dll and .addin file is all that is needed.
