Project Description
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.
