In my experience, re-running the installer did wipe the Tools menu. I
see now that the installer now has the option to restore to defaults
which does have this behaviour (removing the Tools menu).
However, I'm not so sure that installing AB 64 bit should exhibit this
behaviour if AB 32 bit is installed. Or perhaps the 64 bit should have
its own Tools menu?
Cheers,
Richard.

Hello,
One correction: reinstall does not wipe the registry area.
Generally speaking re-installs should NOT be done by uninstalling the
software.
Instead, to reinstall AmiBroker, one should simply run setup WITHOUT
uninstalling anything.

You need to modify the registry.
However, be careful of the follow:
a) A reinstall of AmiBroker will wipe the Tools menu registry area
b) An install of AmiBroker 64bit will wipe the Tools menu registry too
c) There is a hard coded limit of 10 entries inside AmiBroker (you
can create more, but they won't appear).
See HKCU\Software\TJP\Broker\Custom Tools
Create your own AgrsX, CommandX, InitDirX and NameX entry and also
ensure that the Count entry is incremented too.
Best regards,
Richard Dale.

I am looking for information on how to add an entry to AmiBroker's
Tools Menu via code. I know how to do this manually, but I want to
automate the process.
My data provider as part of their setup program added an entry to
the Tools Menu, so it can be done. I have searched the info on the
AmiBroker Object Model, but that didn't yield anything obvious.
Anyone able to point me at the relevant documentation?
Thanks
Laurie
