Hi Gorge,

You can use one of the following;

1. Install B1DE, create a new VB (I think it's also available in C#) project, choose the B1 Setup wizard and follow all the steps (RECOMENDED)

2. Take a look in SDK sample files and you'll find a normal VisualStudio setup sample. Just do the same with your project;

3. Use any other installer wizard application (such as nullsoft's)

Hi Gorge,

I mentioned 3 approaches to create the installer. Which one did you try?

Why did it no work? You could not create the project? An error occured while compiling? An error occurred while installing the setup? You need to provide more information in order for us to help you...

The first method requires B1DE, and the latest version is available only form VisualStudio 2005, NOT 2008.

Now I want to Register this program in SBO by Addon Administration. As I know addon program require .ard file to register. Then how I can make .ard file of this setup program. There is two wizard in VB. template window one is SAP B1 AddOnInstaller .Net Wizard and second is VB B1 AddOnInstaller setup wizard. What is purpose of both these wizards and how can I use these wizard.

Hi Gorge,

1st u need to create a .net Installer (Please check google for this or u can take help from any normal .net programmer)

2nd After u have the .net installer now u need to create the .ARD file---- For this u need to use the AddOnRegDataGen.exe u can find this in the following path C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One SDK\Tools\AddOnRegDataGen

Once u have both the ARD file and the setup file then u can run and install in the addon in SAP B1.

Hope it helps u.

Gud that my post helped u...

1. Namespace-- this is the namespace that is followed by ur company, each and every partner needs to have a unique namespace. Genarally this is a 3 letter word that repsents ur company. For testing purpose u can use some YYY.... etc.

2.Contact Data--- This is the partner website.

3.Add on Info -> AddOn exe full path (There browse for the EXE file which u will find in the .net project under the BIN or the DEBUG folder)

4.Install Info-.>Installer exe full path (Here browse for the .net set upinstaller which u created after completing ur project.)

5.Installer command line Argument-- the value in the text field is /z

6.UnInstaller exe full path --- Here browse for the .net set upinstaller which u created after completing ur project.

7.UnInstaller command line Argument --- the value in the text field is /x"uninstall"/z

Hope this helps u..
