Issues with SolidWorks Seeing add-in

 Has anyone ever created a custom API add-in. I am using Visual Studio 2022 and all the programming is done. I seem to be having issues with SolidWorks recognizing the addin. I have tried several things but nothing seems to work.

 

I have registered the .dll file on the Command promts for VS 2022 and received a Types registered successfully.
I have registration keys also for the addin.

I have even tried down the path of a .msi installer.

 

Can anyone provide input?

 

regards,

James
