Huagati Systems Support Forum

1/3/2011 8:16:30 PM mkamoski Posts: 46	Regarding "Huagati Project Loader"... ...regarding the "install.txt" file statement... * = The add-in directory is typically located at \Users\[username]\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Addins on Windows Vista, or \Documents And Settings\[username]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Addins on Windows XP ...where is the Addins direcotry in Windows 7 for VS.NET 2008 Standard? (I am sorry if this is "off topic" relative to this particular forum section; but, I did not see a better place to put this post.) (I tried looking in VS.NET Options, but the location of all the Addin directories use enviroment variables and I cannot find exactly where they point, yet.) Please help. Thank you. -- Mark Kamoski

The default install path is: Win7 x86: C:\Program Files\Huagati Systems Co Ltd\Huagati DBML_EDMX Tools Win7 x64: C:\Program Files (x86)\Huagati Systems Co Ltd\Huagati DBML_EDMX Tools However, during installation that path can be customized. The add-in assemblies are in subdirectories called VS2008 and VS2010 respectively, under the 'program files' install path and those directories are added to Visual Studio's list of add-in load directories. The add-in's data files (e.g. license file, global settings, version upgrade data etc) are stored under %localappdata%\huagati (that environment variable should exist on all Windows systems, and is resolved to the right place by Windows Explorer if typed in the 'address bar'). --- * = Prior to version 2.15 the add-in was installed under %userprofile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Addins / %userprofile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins but due to various issues with .net assembly trust that was changed to the Program Files directory as described above. Best regards, Kristofer

When I replied I thought you meant Huagati DBML/EDMX Tools... The Project Loader add-in shouldn't be needed under Windows 7... The .net framework issue that it was created to work around is fixed in the Win7 version of the .net CLR. That said, the default add-in directories under Win7 are the same as they were for Vista: %userprofile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Addins and %userprofile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins (%userprofile% normally resolves to \Users\[username] but you can just type %userprofile% in the explorer address bar to find it if it happens to be located elsewhere on your system). edited by Kristofer on 1/4/2011
