Dear Team,
Could you Please help me with some documentation and steps on how to Deployment of an Addin in ArcGIS Pro in the client machine.
Thanking you in advance.
Hi Patterson,
I have developed few tools using ArcGIS Pro SDK...Now I would like to install that Addin in the client machine...I am attaching the snapshots for your reference...
When the double click the Addin, It is showing me that it is installed, But When I opened ArcGIS Pro, I am not able to see anything.
Please check the above snapshots and help me in getting the solution.
did you add the folder, then check the 'options'
Hello Patterson,
I added the folder and then checked the Options....
Hello Patterson,
Everything seems to be Correct,But my addin is not shown in ArcGIS Pro - Irrespective of the number of iterations done...Your quick response is highly appreciated.
Thank You.
Hello Patterson,
How can I create a setup for my addin created in ArcGIS Pro SDK.
It appears to still be in a private folder... see https://community.esri.com/message/644752-re-how-to-add-add-in-to-arcgis-pro?commentID=644752#comment-644752 and you may want to check the specific software versions you are using since there are incremental changes and some major changes in Pro 2.0
Hello Dan,
Could you please tell me how could I create a Windows Installer Package for the Solution I created in ArcGIS Pro SDK.
My Solution contains custom Tools.
I would like to know these things.
1. How to add reference of the Custom Tools from my Toolbox in Visual Studio - ArcGIS Pro SDK.
2. How to Package my Solution for Deployment in Client Machines.(Similar to a set up file).
Windows Installer packages are not needed to install an ArcGIS Pro add-ins. There are two ways to install your add-in (which will always have a file extension of .esriAddInX):
- is by double clicking the file on the client machine (which is what you did on the post above) or
- by copying the .esriAddInX file into the well-known (or added) folder for Pro Add-ins (by default that's "ArcGIS\AddIns\ArcGISPro" folder in your documents folder)
By looking at your posts above I was not able to tell which version your add-in was built for, nor what version of ArcGIS Pro you trying to install the add-in on. I would suggest that you match the version of ArcGIS Pro and the ArcGIS Pro SDK when you develop add-ins. If you are running version 2 of ArcGIS Pro and developed the add-in before version 2.0 please take a look at migration issues documented here:
https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/FAQ#20-migrationIf your add-in appears in the add-in list on the client machine that means that Pro found the add-in, however, Pro will not automatically run the add-in, instead Pro looks at your config.daml file to match the desktopVersion attribute under the AddInInfo tag. Make sure that the desktopVersion matches the version of ArcGIS Pro on the client.
...
<AddInInfo id="{your id guid}" version="your add-in version" desktopVersion="2.0">
...Hello Kaiser,
I was able to solve that issue...As I have created a Pro Configured Module...I was able to get the Deployment by creating a shortcut.
My issue was I would like to Create a Setup or Windows Installer Package for my solution. So that the Client who is having ArcGIS Pro Installed on their machines should be able to use my addin after running the setup.
Example: XTools.....When you download XTools for ArcGIS Pro...They will give us a Windows Installer Package and when we run that Package addins will be installed to the respective folders and we will start working directly on the Tools.
This is how I would like to Package my solution.

Ok I see what you're trying to do now. In general the SDK distinguishes between add-ins and [managed] configurations, therefore we have also two different project templates for both options (one for add-ins and one for managed configurations).
- Add-ins will run with every instance of ArcGIS Pro that is started on a machine, as long as the add-in package has been copied into a location that is recognized by ArcGIS Pro's add-in manager and permissions allow the add-in to run. Therefore many enterprise customers simply configure a shared network folder connection on all machines that is recognized by ArcGIS Pro's add-in manager. Now you can simply copy the latest version of your add-in to that shared location and your users are automatically able to run your add-in. If an add-in is distributed to the public then the ArcGIS Marketplace or ArcGIS Online can be used to distribute that add-in and the built-in ArcGIS Pro installer makes sure that the add-in is properly installed.
- Configurations are a bit different from add-ins as they can only be run by either specifying the configuration name in a shortcut (using the /config command line parameter) or using the registry to force your configuration on ALL instances of running ArcGIS Pro. You can read more about that here: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProConcepts-Configurations#runtime
So yes if you like a give your users a 'turn-key' experience for a 'managed configuration' (option 2 above) then a setup or windows installer is needed to copy the configuration package, and then create a shortcut or define the required registry key.
are you talking about something beyond the addin manager?
