dll wizard

I'm not sure if this is the right forum.

I just installed vissim onto a computer that i had already installed visual studio professional 2008.

i expected vissim to add the dll wizard files to the visual studio suite of project templates. I did this previously for visual studio 2005 and it worked just fine.

however, when i open visual studio 2008, i can not find the vissim dll wizard.

can you tell me how I can add the dll wizard to the project templates?

VisSim has been updated to automatically install the VisSim Addon Wizard for Visual Studio 2008. You can reinstall over your current installation, or follow the directions below.

The wizard consists of two parts:

three files dllWizNet.ico, dllWizNet.vsdir, and dllWizNet.vsz in \vcprojects for example C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcprojects
and a directory dllWizNet in 'Visual Studio C++ Directory'\VCWizards

If you have a previous version of the wizard, copy the files into VS2008 directories. You need to edit dllWizNet.vsz with notepad and change the following line:
Wizard=VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.7.1
to
Wizard=VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.9.0

Hi,

I tried doing this into VS2010, but didn´t work. Are there any further steps to make the wizard work properly?

Thanks.

The latest VisSim installs work fine with MSVC 2010. There is no need to do the steps in the post above. To verify the VisSim MSVC 2010 project wizard is correctly installed, invoke MSVC and select File > New > Project.... You should see 'VisSim Addon Dll Wizard' in the list of projects.
You must make sure that MSVC 2010 is installed before you install VisSim. If MSVC was not installed first, just reinstall VisSim and it will detect MSVC 2010 and install the wizard files automatically.

FYI: Inner mechanics of the Wizard for MSVC 2010 and for the older MSVCs (2008, 2005, 2003) are slightly different. Thus, if you have an older VisSim Setup, the wizard may not work with MSVC 2010.

Thank you all. I have reinstalled latest VisSim version and wizard is now working properly in MSVC2010.
