Hi all,
I would like to release to the community a little Visual C++ 6.0 AppWizard to automate the process of creating IDA plugins within the Visual C++ IDE.

The file IDAPlugin.awx must be copied into <Visual_Studio_Inst_Dir>\Common\MSDev98\Template\ directory.

In order to properly set up the environment the Wizard will ask the plugin developer the IDA's SDK directory location and IDA's plugins directory.

After the correct build of your plugin, it will then be copied directly into IDA's plugins directory by the VC++ "after build process", so be careful naming your plugin in a unique way if you don't want to overwrite any of the IDA's or other's plugins.
This plugin has been developed using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Pro, Service Pack 6 and is targeted to be used in the same environment.

Hope you like the utility (and also find it useful) and I would appreciate any feedback or enhancement requests.

Best regards,
theCaller

PS
The plugin has been updated, read my last post to see bugfix and enhancement

Small problem with the data base. Due to a mistake during maintenance, the database was overwritten with the October 8 backup. As a result I've lost Kayakers error report and enhancement request and theCallers updated posting of the next version.

My apologies and please re-post your comments Kayaker and theCaller can repost the updated version. It's also posted on Exetools.

Regards,

Update:

Enhancement:

- Wizard now has the capability of remembering locations

BugFix:
- Corrected behaviour of Clean Action in Build

Best regards,
