toolbar not listed after install

[TereseRowekamp]

I have a custom toolbar that was developed with vb.net in Visual Studio 2005 and works great in ArcGIS Desktop 9.3. Now I need it to work in ArcGIS 10.

I followed the instructions to migrate to ArcGIS10 and recompiled my code, creating a new install file (msi).

To install the new version, I run the install file first, then go into Customize in ArcGIS 10 and use Add from File to load the toolbar and custom commands from the tlb file. This process works great on a Windows XP computer.

When I try the same thing on a Windows 7 64-bit computer, the install runs without error and the Add from File lists the custom commands being loaded. But the toolbar does not show up in the toolbar list, and none of the commands show up on the commands tab.

What's missing in the install process?

Hi,

maybe you need to compile your project with x86 .  Replace "Any CPU" by "X86" in your project property.

I got it to work. UAC (User Access Control) had to be shut off during the install and Add from File, then turned back on after. We had tried lowering the UAC setting, but that wasn't enough. It had to be turned off.

We are having a real tough time getting our custom toolbars to show up in the list of available toolbars. Our developer has several custom toolbars written in VB that worked great in 9.3.1, but he cannot get them to cooperate in 10. He's got an MSI  that runs and installs the toolbars OK, but opening arcmap 10 and right clicking in the toolbar area to produce the list of available tools does not show his custom toolbars. We tried using the TLB file also. Arcmap 10 reads the TLB file ok, but when clicking OK, it does not add the toolbar to the list. What are we missing? What is the procedure to get our custom toolbars to show up in arcmap 10? We are running Windows 7 Enterprise and the UAC is disabled as mentioned here. We've also made sure we have the correct .net framework...etc. Really need help on this.

I have found the only way to get the toolbars to show is to right click on the ArcMap icon and select Run as Administrator.  Then add the toolbar through customize, add from file.  Run ArcMap normally after this and the toolbar will be in the list.
