AddOnAdmin

Anonymous

Hi guys,

Just upgraded my Addon development environment to AC15, but ran into some serious problems in regards to the AddOnAdmin utility. First of all, it seems to be missing completely in the OSX version of the Development Kit. Secondly, the Windows version AddOnAdmin.exe requires an external dll UsageLogger.dll, which can be found in the AC install directory, unfortunately my system is 64bit and there is no way to install the 32bit version, therefore there is a mismatch between the dll and AddOnAdmin.exe which is 32bit only. What is going on here?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,

Thomas

When I try to launch AddOnAdmin on OSX Lion, it just goes away. I am using a fresh install (no prior OS nor Xcode installed) and use Xcode 4.

Works OK here, although versions prior to the one released by Ákos had ceased to work. I'd be wary of using Xcode 4 with the ArchiCAD API though - there may be subtle incompatibilities.

There seems to be a missing framework (UsageLogger) that is not found.

But I was able to copy this framework from the ArchiCAD.app Frameworks... and it seems to work now.

Seems a bug with the downloaded package.

You can download the ArchiCAD 16 API Kit now; it includes an AddOnAdmin that works well for older ArchiCAD versions as well.
