How to install hybrid extension from a ui tool ?

Hi,
We've worked at first time on a HTML extension. Customers won't install our extension manually.
So they use Anastasiy's extension manager.

Now, we will probably produce an hybrid extension (I mean with a HTML extension part, and native InDesign plugins).

So, my questions are :

  • Does anyone know if installation and removing still will work on that extension manager ?
  • If not, does anyone know such a tool ? (easily use by customers)

Thanks in advance

How do you use create your zxp file, in that you can write code to copy over your C++ plugin to the plugins folder as well. It has defined variables that denote the install location of InDesign, if i remember correctly its $indesign

Have a look at the following link

Configuration File Reference for Extension Manager CC

Path tokens

Apart from that you could create your own native installers using generic installer softwares, afterall its mainly picking some files and placing then at some locations. I uses NSIS installer on a windows and Iceberg or Packages for a MAC

Hope this helps
