Deploy Add-Ins

To deploy Add-Ins to users' sites, follow the steps below:

  1. Add the Add-In DLL file to an appropriate directory on the user's computer; i.e. C:\Program Files\[new dir].
  2. Register the DLL using the RegSvr32 command from the command prompt as shown in the example below.
     
    RegSvr32
     
  3. Place a new entry into the registry so that Enterprise Architect recognizes the presence of your Add-In by using the registry editor (run regedit).
  4. Add a new key value EAAddIns under the location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems
     
    NameRegKey
     
  5. Add a new key under this key with the project name.
     
    Add-inRegistry
     

Note:

[ProjectName] is not necessarily the name of your DLL, but the name of the Project. In Visual Basic, this is the value for the property Name corresponding to the project file.
  1. Specify the default value by modifying the default value of the key.
     
    RegKeyValue
     
  2. Enter the value of the key by entering the [project name].[class name]; e.g. EaRequirements.Requirements where EaRequirements is the project name as shown in the example below.
     
    NameRegKeyValue
