    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe "C:\Program Files\OpenFMB\bin\EAProtobufExporter.dll" /codebase

  3. Create a new entry in the registry by running regedit. This will allow Enterprise Architect to recognize the presence of the OpenFMB Protobuf Exporter Add-In. Add the new key value “EAAddIns” under the appropriate location:

    • For single users: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems”
