Creating a setup file from vb.net for Add-on

[Former Member]

How do I create a setup program SBO add-on using vb.net setup? I created one but it gives me an error message at the start of installation inside SBO.

Hello Walubengo,

If you want to create an installation program of your add-on solution, you should use AddonInstallAPI.dll. It is under the system folder of SAP Business One. There are two mandatory functions to call EndInstallEx() and EndUnintall(), which will inform B1 about your add-on installation status.

In addition, SAP provide a tool B1DE, which allow you to easily create installer. Please refer to https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/1fe00c0a-0701-0010-1e9d-a15... for more information.

Hope this helps,

Nick
