Dear All,
1. According the help of SDK Tutorial, it need to create the installer. Should I create installer seperately for every add-on?
2. I have created a simple add-on through VB express 2010, "just a button control to connect the SAP". After publish to a share folder, then user install through that exe file . User can run the exe in no problem. After that, I creat the rdf by used of AddOnRegDataGen. I choose the exe file in share folder which published by VB express 2010. Then register Add-on by choosed the RDF I made in previous step. When run the add-on, it will install again.
Could you please show me the correct method. which exe I need to generate and how?
Thanks everyone
Regards
Gary
Hi Gary,
Yes, I recommend you create a separate installer for each addon-on you create. I also recommend you use the B1DE toolkit available on the SCN to create your installers. The B1DE is an extension for Visual Studio that offers various template projects, including 2 installer projects. These installer projects will take you through the steps to create your installer, including the ard registration file.
B1DE can be found here:

Hi Gary,
Once you've created your installer exe and ard file using the B1DE you need to install the addon by logging in to SAP Business One and going to the Addon Administration screen (System Initialisation--Add-ons--Add-On Administration). In this screen, click on the Register Add-on button and browse to pick up your ard file.
Kind Regards,
Owen
Hi Gary,
Creating an installer for your add-on would go something like this:
Note: When the ard is generated by the B1DE wizard, it includes the digital signature of your compiled add-on. If you want to update your add-on code and recompile then you will need to rebuild your installer as well. The simplest way is to delete the old installer project and create a new one. However, if you've spent time customising this installer then there are ways to update the existing installer project and to recompile and regenerate the ard file. The steps depend on which installer type you chose.
Kind Regards,
Owen
