I am new to excel add-in prgramming and I am having a existing excel add-in project need to modify.
The plug-in has 2 parts, one is programmed in VB and compiled into a ActiveX DLL file, the other part is inside the excel as an add-in.
I already modified the source code of the DLL and recompiled a new DLL, but I don't know what is the correct way to re-package the 2 parts into one excel add-in package and give to my colleagues.
I tried to remove the reference to old DLL from excel, but it seems I could not do that, it will always be there and I can't really remove it.
This add-in is for excel 2003 or previous version, not for excel 2007.
thanks a lot for your help!
Welcome to DLL Hell!
You'll have to remove the reference to the old dll.
Have a look at: regsvr32
- Close Excel
- Click Start / Run / cmd
- Type
regsvr32 /u [path of old dll]/[filename] - Then
regsvr32 [path of new dll]/[filename]
Eg:
regsvr32 /u c:\windows\system32\file.dll
You can add /q to hide all messages
How do you repackage it for your colleagues? There are multiple ways. Create a bat file and email it, put it as part of the logon script. Or go to each workstation and manually do it
