shell package registration - nothing happens

Post by cbentley »

I created a new shell package using the VS2010 template. I did not alter the package, except to change the assembly name and sign the assembly. I ran the register and setup command. There were no messages returned. It appears nothing happened. I look for the registry keys and there are none there. I'm trying to apply this to the EXP hive.

Looked for keys in regedit, but there are none for SoftPro.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SoftPro\*

[RegisterPackage("Aldridge Connors LLP", "ACLAW.SoftProShell", "1.0.0.0", "")]
[RegisterProduct("Aldridge Connors LLP", "ACLAW.SoftProShell", "1.0.0.0", "Shell Extension", "")]
[ProvideCommandTable("ACLAW.SoftProShell.MyPackage.cto")]
//[ProvideResources("ACLAW.SoftProShell.Properties.Resources")]
[ProvideToolWindow("MyToolWindow", typeof(MyToolWindow), "", WindowLocation.Left, Visible = false, Transient = true, Style = WindowStyle.None)]
[Guid(MyPackage.PackageGuidString)]

Commands:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SoftPro\Select SDK\Tools>spregpkg.exe /m:register /p:C:\Projects\SoftProSelect\ACLAW.SoftProShell\bin\Debug\ACLAW.SoftProShell.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\SoftPro\Select>select.exe /setup

I'm sure I missed something important. Thanks for any help.

I found the EXP hive here and my DLL is listed.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SoftPro\Select\3.0Exp
Now that I found that it did do some work, I will continue looking for the answer.
Thanks,
