Install the Wizard

There are three parts to the Visual Studio User Defined BIF Wizard, delivered in three directories in the LANSA Tools directory. They are:

1.  LANSAUBIFWizard - the main Wizard code.

2.  LANSAUBIFProject - declaration of the Wizard so that it appears in the Visual Studio New Project dialog.

3.  LANSAUBIFSharedFiles - property sheets to declare common properties between User Defined BIF projects and other files to declare common version information.

There are various options for how you install a Visual Studio Wizard, however, it is recommended that you deploy it in the same location as the other VisualC++ templates. This requires administrative access. There are two folders:

• {VS2010InstallationFolder}\VC\VCWizards: Hosts the wizard projects; you should deploy the wizard project in the AppWiz subfolder, simply copy the whole project here from {Visual LANSA Installation Folder}\Tools\LANSAUBIFWizard, including the directory itself so that you end up with this directory {VS2010InstallationFolder}\VC\VCWizards\AppWiz\LANSAUBIFWizard;

• {VS2010InstallationFolder}\VC\VCProjects: copy the whole directory CONTENTS here from {Visual LANSA Installation Folder}\Tools\LANSAUBIFProject

The Wizard is now available to create a Visual Studio project, but there are some ancillary steps to follow as described in Create a Visual Studio Project based on the Wizard.
