Setting up your workstation to use GN4AddInsExpress.sln

You need to install Microsoft Visual Studio Express on your workstation. You need to configure it to review or edit GN4 scripts (add-ins). See Visual Studio Express chapter for detailed information.

Once you've installed Visual Studio Express, and GN4 add-ins, the best practice is to create a shortcut to the GN4AddInsExpress.sln, to pin it to the startup menu, and then to load the solution through that shortcut.

Always load GN4 add-ins by opening the solution file!

The shortcut's target might be (the part of path in red is mandatory):

C:\TERA\GN4\main\src\GN4AddIns\GN4AddInsExpress.sln

or

C:\GN4\src\GN4AddIns\GN4AddInsExpress.sln

and the start directory should be the AddIns folder.

slnproperties

Note

You can also use the appropriate version of the Microsoft Visual Studio to edit and compile GN4 add-ins. Even in that case, you need to use GN4AddInsExpress.sln.
