AddOn Manager ....Installed Addons

Hello,
I have problem after installing Addon.
After installing AddOn, it shows the status as "Failed" in Installed Addons under
Add-on Manager.....
But my report runs successfully.
I want to change the status from "Failed" to "Connected".
To get the status as "Connected", I made the changes in AddOnInstallerManager.vb as follows:
actual code:
#If Version = "2005" Then
 ' Call EndInstallEx with isSucceeded = true
 ' Replaces EndInstall function of 2004 version
 ret = EndInstallEx(addOnPath, True)
 If ret <> 0 Then
 MessageBox.Show("EndInstallEx returned " + ret.ToString(), _
 "Error while trying to install the AddOn", _
 MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
 End If
#Else
 ' Call EndInstall (no parameters)
 ret = EndInstall()
 If ret <> 0 Then
 MessageBox.Show("EndInstall returned " + ret.ToString(), _
 "Error while trying to install the AddOn", _
 MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
 End If
#End If
change it to :
#If Version = "2005" Then
 ' Call EndInstallEx with isSucceeded = true
 ' Replaces EndInstall function of 2004 version
 ret = EndInstallEx(addOnPath, True)
 If ret <> -1 Then
 MessageBox.Show("EndInstallEx returned " + ret.ToString(), _
 "Error while trying to install the AddOn", _
 MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
 End If
#Else
 ' Call EndInstall (no parameters)
 ret = EndInstall()
 If ret <> 0 Then
 MessageBox.Show("EndInstall returned " + ret.ToString(), _
 "Error while trying to install the AddOn", _
 MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
 End If
#End If
after done that change I rebuilt solution. I tried to install the addon again but it gives system message as"Wrong digital signature for Add-on installer".
Please give me the solution.....
Thanks
Nisha

Hi Nisha,
Every time you recompile your addon or the Installer you need to regenerate the .ard file. To do that if you are using the B1DE installers you only have to run the .bat inside the AddOnRegDataGenFile directory (please have a look to the B1DE help file). If you are not using B1DE then use the AddOnRegDataGen.exe to regenerate your ard.
Hope it helps
Trinidad.

Why don't the add ons work when I install them? I can see them in the addon manager, but they don't work when I want to use them. Also very annoying when you have to register for one stinking question!!!

I installed a new dictionary. Something that worked fine when I installed it in the previous versions, works fine on my pc. But I have installed the dictionary 3 times now and it won't "take". I see it in the addon manager, but when I want to switch from us to dutch dictionary, it's just not there to be switched to. It's annoying and I need the dictionary

You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.

I looked in addons manager and I seem to have 5 versions of java console installed,do I need them all or can I disable all but the latest?

I can see 5 versions of java console in addons manager,6.0.04,6.0.07,6.0.10,6.0.12 and 6.0.14.Do I need all these or should I disable all but the latest?

I have two addons that are installed and working; but, the Addon Manager says they have Failed connecting. Also, the Addons take ~15 seconds to connect, which seems a bit long to me. I am including all my connection code.

Hi Scott
The code is correct
The Addons take ~15 seconds to connect because your system has a little memory. Remember all addon take ~74MB
In Addon Manager go in timeout, but after timeout your addon run
Solution: if possible 1) use only 1 addon. 2)Run addon manually and not automatically only when necessary 3) don't run on PC other programs 4) add memory on your PC
5 finally) We hope in 2005 addons use little memory.

I cannot install addons with 4.0b12!

I've been trying to install Stylish from addons.mozilla.org for the last few hours and after clicking the link I am asked to restart as usual. However upon restarting the addon is not there and it's as though I have not done anything at all. I've tried installing from a file as well and the same issue occurs.
I emailed the developer about this and he suggested it might be a problem with firefox and upon further inspection I don't seem to be able to install any addons. I've been through the 'unable to install addons' FAQ and it has not proved helpful as all of my about:config settings are as they should be and I also tried deleting extensions.ini/rdf (could not find .cache) in my user profiles folder.
Can someone please tell me what might be going on? It's driving me crazy. Note: this also appears to be happening on 3.6.14, which is still installed.

I figured it out. When I was using firefox 3.x I'd installed an addon called Memory Fox to cut down on ram usage as it would habitually creep up to 1GB+ during the course of a day, well when I installed 4.0b12 I deleted the addon, but not the external application that runs in the background. I noticed it was still running, ended it via the task manager, and now everything works and I can install addons again!
I am glad I don't need to create a new profile as that's a royal pain :X

Installing addons on client

Hi Experts!
I have a problem with installing addons on clients.
I registrated a new version of addon under Admin/Addons/Addon adminisration ,of course firstly I have unregistered this one.
After adding the new .ard and .exe files the installation is successful on server machine, but first time I log into SAP on client machine , nothing has happen.No error message , the installation doesnt start.
Where Automatic installation is setup there of course I got the error message about wrong digital signature...
The only solution is deleting the two .sbo files under C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\.
But at this moment I have 10 client machines and 3 addons,so every time when new version should be installed it would take 4 hours to get ready with client installations and of course my client would like to work..
Please help me how to solve it or what to do to avoid this problems next time,next new client!
Thank you in advance!!

Hi,
This problem usually is caused by unmatching id in the table SARI in the SBO-Common database. Make sure you have uninstall the addon and delete your add-on folder in the C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\Addons. Then, run SQL Server Management Studio and open the table SARI in the SBO-COMMON database. Find if there is any old entry of your add-on. (If your add-on was uninstalled correctly, you should not see any entry related to that add-on). If you see an entry related, delete it.
Then, try to install the add-on again.
Regards,
Zul

When I click options in addons/extensions the addon window freezes and I have to use the task manager to end the process. Any solutions?

There may be a problem with one of the files that stores details of installed extensions. Try deleting these files as shown in the "Corrupt extension files" section of this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
Though that article is not specifically about your problem, the method shown in the corrupt extension files section may help. When you restart Firefox after deleting those files, the list of installed extensions is rebuilt and this will hopefully fix your problem.

Shockwave addon stopped working, but addon manager says it is fine, what to do?

Whenever I am at a website it freezes and error message pops up to say adobe shockwave is not working do I wish to turn it off or wait. This has been going on for several days. I checked the addon manager and it says that the shockwave is fine and recently updated. I pressed update now and nothing happened. I clicked on the shockwave and got lots of information, none of it useful and offers to download more programs, but I didn't want to do that.
I don't know how to get it working again, and haven't had this problem before.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Adobe Reader "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon not installing when Using MSI Installer.

I'm trying to do a silent install of Adobe Reader - and I notice that when I use the EXE installer, with no manual configuration, I have the "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon in Internet Explorer (IE11).
When Installing the MSI - With or without a transform, I do not get the addon. I get a "PDF Link Helper" but no PDF Reader addon. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi geoffubazi,
The 'Adobe PDF Reader' Addon should install even if you run the .msi file.
Check under the Add on option- 'Run without permission' as shown in the screen shot below and it will list the 'Adobe PDF Reader' Add on

Shows the status "failed" in AddOn Manager

I have created a addon for our clients. The addon works fine and loads up each time a user logs into B1. The only issue I am seeing is that the addon is listed with a "Failed" status in the Addon Manager even though the addon works fine.
Is there some code that I need to include to ensure that the status is set to "Connected".

Hi Parag,
Yes this is a problem, for sort out this problem, when you are creating installer for your addon you can open the CustomInstallerClass.vb under customerLibrary in your installer project.
and do this change
actual code:
#If Version = "2005" Then
 '' Call B1 EndInstallEx, succeeded true
 ret = EndInstallEx(targetDir, True)
 If (ret <> 0) Then
 MsgBox("Error at EndInstallEx(True) call at the end of the AddOn installation: " + targetDir)
 End If
#Else
 '' Call B1 EndInstall (no parameters)
 ret = EndInstall()
 If (ret <> 0) Then
 MsgBox("Error at EndInstallEx() call at the end of the AddOn installation")
 End If
#End If
change it to :
#If Version = "2005" Then
 '' Call B1 EndInstallEx, succeeded true
 ret = EndInstallEx(targetDir, True)
 If (ret <> -1) Then
 MsgBox("Error at EndInstallEx(True) call at the end of the AddOn installation: " + targetDir)
 End If
#Else
 '' Call B1 EndInstall (no parameters)
 ret = EndInstall()
 If (ret <> 0) Then
 MsgBox("Error at EndInstallEx() call at the end of the AddOn installation")
 End If
#End If
you have to compare ret to '-1' instead of '0'
after done that change again rebuild your solution, its working fine.

Addon manager doesnt open in tab. how to change?

My addon manager opens in a floating window, but i want it to open in tab. How can i change that?

how can I get it to be back to the small popup window for the add-on. prefrence even thou I still aviod it because i still love the old style and SeaMonkey still has that whew. But those are nice and small and clean and easy to use and aren't big and bulky like the new add-on manager. But how can I get the popup dialog . anything in about::config I can hack ? I'd love to see the option for the classic views its a much better option and more fair to people. I also hate the fact when I click the add-on it auto move me to that tab. I have that turned of with middle click. would be nice if it was a middle click option . But even then I'd hope it does auto take me there. Hot mail too thats what the middle click is for to open another tab if you want but as I said witht he option to go to it then and there ot when you want to. Seamonkey 2.1a3 it still works right so I dunno what wrong with firefox . thats all the same things like ie :( . I don't like annoying popups but a config small popup is fine thanks

Install AddOn problem

Hello all,
I have a problem with install my addon to SAP2004. I create setup program for my addon, than i make .ard file for this addon and registred Addon in SAP SBO. When start the SAP begin the installation process. This process is ending by error "Install is time out". The setup dont start. I used time for installation 300 second. The wizard for setup didnt start. Why not?

Hey Vit,
First of all you will need to use some kind of installer that will allow you to execute your own custom code blocks as you must tell Business one that your installer has been successful.
Here is some of the code that I used:
First of all when your add on installer is called it gets two parameters from Business one. The first one is the install dir and the second os the location of the addonreg dll. You need to use these variables in your code.
installDir = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(1).ToString();
dllLocale = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(2).ToString();
You need your C# application to talk to the business one registration dll. These are the three main functions you will need to call.
[DllImport("AddOnInstallAPI.dll")]
static extern int EndInstall();
[DllImport("AddOnInstallAPI.dll")]
static extern int RestartNeeded();
[DllImport("AddOnInstallAPI.dll")]
static extern int SetAddOnFolder(string srrPath);
This is the code I use to tell Business one my addon has been installed:
public bool RegisterAddOnWithBusinessOne()
    //set curr directory to SBO dll path
    Environment.CurrentDirectory = dllLocation;
    //override the default install Dir
    if (SetAddOnFolder(installLocation) != 0)
          return false;
    else
     //tell SBO the install has ended properly
     if (EndInstall() != 0)
          return false;
return true;
Please let me know if you have any questions or if this helps.

Since adding a new addon, my addon manager won't stay open.

I recently got an email from Firefox with the top addons of 2014. So I downloaded a couple. But now, when I open the Addons Manager, it only stays open for a fraction of a second and then opens a new tab in Firefox with an advertisement for Garmin. How do I stop it from doing that?
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/maps/on-the-trail-maps/topo/topo-canada/prod1016.html?zebratwo=CJ&utm_source=CJ&utm_medium=Text&utm_campaign=Maps

Good. Now you have access. And confirmed that it is the add-on.
Do you remember the name of the add-on you think is the problem?
Type '''about:addons'''<Enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the
others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.
