Hello , 

I want to deploy my dlls developed  in Vb.net in a separate folder inside the addins folder of dynamics GP

for example "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2018\Addins"

now i want to deploy my custom solution in folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2018\Addins\mycustomsolution"

GPAddin  Implements IDexterityAddIn and other logics. mycustomsolution folder contains multiple dll's.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Gauji,

    If two ISVs are loading the same assembly in the AddIns folder, then one of them will have to compromise and rename their assembly. If this is shared code somehow, then each product installer should check for the existence of the file (and version) before any one product decides to write files in that folder.

    Hello Chad , 

    Thanks for replying, after go through the link, what i understand that someone is trying to load the assemblies from a shared folder, but still the custom solution dll are exists in the addins folder only.

    I also raised a case in microsoft regarding this, and they said dll's either  loaded from dynamics folder or addins folder. 

    But  there is a problem, what if two isv would install there dll's in  same addins folder and both were conflicted.

    I hope you understand my problem.

    If the product won't currently look in subfolders to the Addins directory then I don't believe there is a method of making it do so. There isn't a Dex.ini setting for this location, for example. I know from a situation Patrick Roth wrote about that the Addins folder path is inherited from the location of the Dynamics.dic file in the Dynamics.set file.
