C-Chook Wizard Installation?

[David Eno]

Hello,

 

Can anyone provide documentation for setting up the chook wizard so that it can be used in VS2010 Pro?

 

Thanks.

It gets installed when you install the X6 CHOOK SDK.

After install you should see it under...

New Project (Installed Templates) -> Visual C++ -> Mastercam

Roger,

 

Yes, I did that. It didn't work. I'm running Mastercam X6 MU1 64-bit on Windows 7 Ultimate.

CH.vxproj

CHookProject.inf

Numerous .cpp and .h files

 

This "CHookWizard" itself is in the main folder of the CHook SDK intstall location.

C:\Program Files\mcamx6\SDK\CHookWizard_2010.dll

 

That file must be "registerd" (at a Command line prompt) ->

regsvr32 ChookWizard_2010.dll

 

*Be sure to register the ChookWizard_2010.dll

and not the "plain" CHookWizard.dll !!!

Thanks Roger,

 

I uninstalled and re-installed chookwizard (as Administrator) with no luck. I manually put the files, and things are fine now.

 

Thanks again.

I'm having the same issue. I cannot however get to the files to install manually. How do I extract them? I tried with 7zip and no go. The files described in the above text are not there. Also, am I using the wrong installer? I am installing mastercamx6-mu2-sdk-web is there a c-hook SKD???

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

The CHook Wizard should be getting installed with the rest of the SDK from -> mastercamx6-mu2-sdk-web

What is the exact version of Visual Studio on your system?

I just tried updating to SP1 then running a repair on the SDK... When I create a new project, there is still no mastercam section under C++

Ok, finaly got it working!

 

Here is what I had to do:

 

1 - Download MS VS 2010

2 - Download the MS VS 2010 SP1 update

3 - Uninstall the mastercam SDK (a repair does not cut it!)

4 - Install the mastercam SDK for X6 MU2

 

The C-Hook wizard now shows up under new project -> C++

That's the correct sequence,

You must have VS-2010 [sP1] ("Pro" or higher) in order to build CHooks for X6 (and X7).

You cannot use the free Express version of VS (as you can for NETHooks), because the Express version does not contain the required MFC components.
