Problem creating an add-on

Hello,

I'm trying to create a simple add-on using the Add-on Installer tool, but I just can't make it work. The final .zip package installs fine and adds the specified menu items, but selecting the menu item doesn't lauch the assigned macro. I wonder whether our forum's gurus could take a look at it? Here is the file:

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Dmitri

Read again chapter 2.1 of the HowTo of Addon Tool.
Your code was in module WordNet and you transfered only it. This is incorrect.

You should have a library WordNet, with your module named anything else.
Then transfer the whole directory, not the module.

In your addon.xcu your URL is incorrect. You just have to use the tool dialog and fill the module name and the macro name. The tool will do the rest.

By the way, installation with OOo 2.0.x is much simpler for a single user. Use Tools > Package manager.
