I am struggling to get this working. Attempting to follow along with Creating an addin tool
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/...000001q000000/
So, I have made it through Step 3 (and maybe my edits are not sticking or something, not sure). Keeping things very simple, I just want to display a message box when the tool is clicked.
However, moving on to "Testing an add-in" http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/...0000026000000/
Step 2. does not work as epected. I double-click the new .esriaddin file that was created and it asks me which program to use to open it. Obviously, I don't know what to choose as it is just supposed to be some sort of ESRI dialog (per the Step 2. in the doc/link above).
So, ok -- I'll just run this in PythonWin.
It runs, but it does not create the expected GUID folder, nor does it copy the contents to the folder Documents\ArcGIS\AddIns\Desktop10.1.
Any help?
Thanks,
j
