Hey all

I need some help getting my .net 2008 to recognize the addin template for 2005.

I followed the readme file:

Setting up the Visual Studio 2005 VB.Net AddIn template.

1) Register SolidWorksTools.dll in the Global Assembly Cache

Either
- In File Explorer, locate "C:\Windows\assembly".
- Drag and drop SolidWorksTools.dll into that directory.

or
- Run gacutil /i from the SDK/Visual Studio 2005 command promt

2) Copy SWVBAddin.zip to Visual Studio 2005's Visual Basic Project Template Location.

To find this location:
- Launch Visual Studio 2005
- Click on the Tools -> Options menu
- Expand "Projects and Solutions"
- Click on "General"
- The second entry should be "Visual Studio user project templates location"
- In that directory is one specifically for Visual Basic.

That is where you want to place the SwVBAddin.zip file. 
Simply leave it zipped; just copy it to that location.

Now when you create a new project in Visual Studio 2005, and select Visual Basic as the language,
you should see "SwVBAddin" as a template choice.

I did the drag-n-drop method the the solidworkstools.dll as I wasnt sure where to run the "gacutil /i solidworkstool.dll"

when I start VB.net it does not show the template even though I put it in the location specified in the options window.
