AddinPath

[Hans Hofmann]

Hi,

how to determine the (default) Path of Addins.
I do not find a registry key.
Any hints?

Thank you
HW

Hi Hans,

I believe the default is almost the same as the template path (substitute
\addins for \templates). That doesn't preclude someone changing it though.

There isn't any as such because PowerPoint won't auto-load addins found in a
particular directory the way Word does.

What do you need to do once you have this info? Maybe there's some other way

I want to save my favorit animations. So I want to place the file in
the same directory the addin located. Or writing an installer to save
the Addin to the default directory.

@Glenna
So I am afraid that I have the next problem. How to obtain the
template path?

This will give you the full path to your addin:

Addins("YourAddinName").Fullname

Jep, but this depends on the filename of addin. The filename must be
hardcoded and changing filename will fail this code...

is there realy no way to gather default directory of addins?

for locating templates.

By clicking dialogs is this ok. It will also due to get addins
directory, but how to handle in VBA?

How often will the filename change?
Declare a constant and set it to the name of the addin.
That's simple enough to maintain.

But it's not foolproof
OK, thank you for your help...
