InventorWizards.msi & vb.net visual studio express
So i needed the wizard to create my first addin.
And it just said: " Could not find any any version of Microsoft Visual Studio "
and i have visual studio express 2010 installed. So heres what i did in a admin command prompt
1. Create tmp dir to extract files to :
md c:\temp
2. Extracted all files from the msi package to c:\temp. In the dir where the InventorWizards.msi is placed :
msiexec /a InventorWizards.msi /qb TARGETDIR=C:\temp
3. Copied the files i needed to my templates dir
that ment finding the VBInventorAddInTemplate.zip.
Now i took the one in vbexp9.0_usrprjtmpl
and copied to
Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates
so i did a
copy c:\temp\VBEXP9.0_USRPRJTEMPL\VBInventorAddInTemplate.zip c:\Users\%username%"\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates
As always i cheated an did as others did before me
unpack msi file
What files to copy to template dir
The idea of using %username%
