Adding new tools to Toolbar

BBulla — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 18:12:28 GMT

Hi,

I have a toolbar that installs via an MSI. From time to time, I add new tools to the toolbar, rebuild the MSI and distribute it.

I'm noticing that when after the users run the Setup.exe the tools are installed but don't appear in the Toolbar. They have to manually go into 'Customize' and drag/drop them onto the toolbar. But in the code for the toolbar I do add it through AddItem ("<Name of new tool>");

This seems to only happen to users who already have the 'old' toolbar installed. Is there something I am missing??

Thanks,

Are they uninstalling the old version before installing the new version?

Hi Neil,

Well I increase the version number in Visual Studio each time I create a new MSI, so when they run the Setup.exe it removes the old version before installing the new.
