add in - Where does ArcGIS persist shared AddIn folder configuration


We want to rollout our customized ArcGIS AddIns enterprise wide. Therefore the esriAddinfiles are stored on a shared folder on the network. ArcGIS does automatically install those (and any updates) if you configure the shared folder in the AddIn Manager. This is described in http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcobjects-net/conceptualhelp/#/Sharing_add_ins/0001000009tm000000/ under "share AddIns on a network"


I wonder if it is possible to configure this folder centralized, like a registry key where it is to set. But I already put a registry tracker on ArcMap to find out where this could be done and found .... nothing. It seems that this is persisted elsewhere.


Anybody has an idea, where I can configure the ArcGIS AddIn shared folder without letting my enterprise end users do it for me (hey, at least I'm sysadmin).



Answer



According to this link you can indeed do that in the registry. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcobjects-net/conceptualhelp/index.html#/Advanced_add_in_concepts/0001000004n7000000/


According to the screenshot on the bottom of that page, and at version 10.0, you'd go to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\Desktop10.0\Settings\AddInFolders
