I have a SolidWorks add-in written in C#/.NET Framework 4.8. It works on my development machine but has been unreliable when installed on coworkers’ computers. I need a professional deployment solution. I am looking for someone to review and modify the add-in as needed, then create a reliable Windows installer and update process. The installer should correctly register the SolidWorks COM add-in, create the required SolidWorks registry keys, handle prerequisites, support clean uninstall/reinstall, and provide useful logging. The goal is for coworkers to install the add-in as easily and reliably as a professional SolidWorks add-in, without manually copying files or running RegAsm commands. Requirements: * SolidWorks x64 add-in deployment experience * C#/.NET Framework COM registration experience * Windows installer experience, preferably WiX Toolset, Advanced Installer, or Inno Setup * Proper logging for install/startup failures * Clean update process that does not overwrite files while SolidWorks is running * Documentation for install, uninstall, troubleshooting, and version updates Current project uses a modular SolidWorks add-in architecture and includes toolbar/menu integration, file export tools, and other internal engineering utilities.

Hello there, I hope you are doing well. I’m a solo developer with deep experience in deploying SolidWorks add-ins as robust COM components, building Windows installers, and ensuring smooth update flows on x64 machines. I’ve designed deployments that register COM components, create needed SolidWorks registry keys, handle prerequisites and clean uninstall/reinstall paths with thorough logging. For similar projects I’ve built reliable installers using WiX/Advanced Installer, ensuring registrations happen even when SolidWorks runs, and providing a reliable update mechanism that avoids file overwrites. I’ll review your modular add-in, optimize the COM registration, and deliver an installer that minimizes manual steps and includes comprehensive docs for install, troubleshooting, and version updates. I can handle the work based on my experience and guarantee a stable, professional deployment. Please feel free to contact me so we can discuss more details. I am looking forward to the chance of working together. Best regards, Billy Bryan

It’s incredibly frustrating when an add-in works perfectly on your machine but fails unpredictably on coworkers’ computers. When deployment turns into a manual process of copying files or running registration commands, it slows everyone down and creates confusion, especially with complex requirements like SolidWorks COM registration and modular tools. You can expect a setup that installs and updates your add-in as smoothly as any top-tier SolidWorks extension, with clear logging and no need for manual fixes. First, I’ll review your add-in code and structure to pinpoint any reliability gaps. Next, I’ll create a professional Windows installer that handles registration, prerequisites, and logging. Finally, I’ll document the install, clean update, and troubleshooting steps so anyone on your team can use it confidently. Would you like to discuss how the update process can avoid issues when SolidWorks is running?

Hi, The key challenge here is ensuring a seamless and reliable deployment of your SolidWorks add-in across different machines. Given the complexity of COM registration and the necessity for a clean installation process, it's crucial to create an installer that accurately sets up the required registry keys and handles prerequisites without interfering with SolidWorks' operation. A robust logging mechanism will also help diagnose any issues during installation or runtime, which is vital for maintaining reliability. Your need for a professional deployment solution aligns well with my experience in developing and deploying Windows applications, particularly with C# and .NET frameworks. I have worked on similar projects where I implemented installers that registered COM components effectively and managed version updates without affecting running applications. This background will allow me to tailor a solution that meets your specific requirements. In previous projects, I have utilized tools like WiX Toolset to create installers that ensure all dependencies are included and that the installation process is both user-friendly and reliable. My focus on thorough documentation will also ensure that your team can troubleshoot and manage updates effectively. I would love to clarify a couple of points to better understand your needs: - Are there specific logging requirements you want to include during installation or runtime? - What specific prerequisites need to be handled in your deployment process? Thank you, Shaun
