Multiple addins in same folder

Hi Addin express team,

I have two addins : both for Excel (eg. GcbAddin, GdmAddin)
These addins calls functions from our assemblies located in the same directory. We need to be able to enable/disable the addins separately (some users don't want the GcbAddin and vice versa). Is this possible ?

But the manifest file name is always same. Is it possible to rename the manifest file with assembly name of the addin project, something like adxloader.GcbAddin.manifest and adxloader.GdmAddin.manifest and then use windows context API to load the corresponding manifest files?

The two addins are just a part of our huge project, so adding shared assemblies to GAC might not be a good solution.

any idea ?

thank you


Ranjitha

Hello Ranjitha,

This isn't possible to achieve. Consider combining the add-ins in the same assembly; you can have to AddinModule instance in the same assembly.
