Hi all,

does anybody know, if it is possible to execute the /resetaddin
functionality in the extension object model? Something like that:

Type t = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("VisualStudio.DTE");
DTE dte = (DTE)Activator.CreateInstance(t);
foreach (AddIn addIn in dte.AddIns)
{
if (addIn.Name.IndexOf("MyAddin") > -1)
addIn.Reset();
}

Unfortunately there is no Reset() method in the AddIn interface. But maybe I
can ask for another interface?

Best Regards
Mirko

Hi Mirko,

nice to meet you on Usenet! You won't remember me but we met a long time
ago at redmond's technology publishing when it was still in U'schl. :-)

While I don't know any interface resetting the CommandPreload key in the
Windows registry might be an alternative. See
http://www.mztools.com/articles/2006/MZ014.htm for the details.

By the way, for some unknown reason the forum at
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=57&SiteID=1 is
much more lively than this newsgroup. You'll probably get replies faster
if you ask there.

Hi Boris,

how are you? Drop me a mail at the mail address you see in my messages
without the xx's.

I know the article. But since I create an EnvDTE instance during the
installation anyway, I thought it would be nice, if I could use it for the
/resetaddin functionality too. But I think I have to tweak the registry the
wayCarlos described it. Thanks anyway for your answer.

Best Regards
Mirko
