    Manual unregistration of an add-on

    After clicking the Add-ons option (as shown in figure 1), the same dialog – as shown in figure 2 – will appear. After deactivating the add-on,  the button  will be enabled.

    Figure 7: Unregister add-ons

    By clicking on the delete button, the add-on will be deleted from the list and also will the belonging add-in be deleted from the list of the API module dialog.

    Warning:

    The delete button  will only be enabled, when the add-on was manually registered before.

      

    Unregistration of an add-on via an action

    It is also possible to unregister an add-on via an action call.

     

    Parameter

    Description

    Path

    The path where the add-on is located

    InstallFile

    The complete path to the  install.xml            

     

    Example:

    Registering Add-ons:

    XSettingsUnregisterAction /Path:c:\MyAddOn

    XSettingsUnregisterAction /InstallFile: c:\MyAddOn\CFG\Install.xml

     

    After you unregistered the add-on via the action call, you may want to verify if the add-on is actually unregistered in the Add-ons dialog and the belonging add-in files are unloaded.

    Automatic unregistration of an add-on

    Like there are two ways to initiate the automatic registration of an add-on when EPLAN is started, there are two ways to reset this setting as well.

    Automatic unregistration with registry settings

    To reset the automatic registration with the Registry Editor, you only have to change the value data to "FALSE" (see figure 4).

    Automatic unregistration with company settings

    To reset the automatic registration with company settings, you should leave the File path for automatic add-on registration field in the Settings: Add-ons dialog – as shown in figure 6 – empty.
