help! cant install my new plugin by DcS on 09-18-2004 at 07:02 AM

i attempted making a plugin for plus in vb6,
just using MPPluginVB.vbp.
i'm relatively sure it _should_ work, but i cant get it to install, even with a modified version of the included install.reg file, as well as using
"Plugin installer maker version 0.2beta by DJMystic"

help on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Ahh can you please tell us exacly what you did?


RE: help! cant install my new plugin by DcS on 09-18-2004 at 07:39 AM

what i did? meaning, making the plugin?? or... installing?
all i did to make the plugin was just change the sample.cls file by patchou, basically.. and not knowing exactly what can be included in dlls, a dialog.. (can these be included).. anyway, to install.. i modified the install.reg file by patchou to use dcsgrab.sample2, instead of the existing...
then just ran that.. didnt work.
using the install maker, i did what was asked... i put the dll in the folder,  modified the installer's .ini to include all the required fields... updated it, then ran the installer.
it said it was successfully installed, it existed in the the registry under the right location, but plus! never displayed a thing, in the preferences dialog or elsewhere.
