FICO® Xpress Optimization Suite Discussion

[Pekka]

Hello,

I am trying to use Xpress Optimization with Microsofts Solver Foundation 3.0. It was possible to download Xpress for MSF on this page, http://optimization.fico.com/xpress-for-microsoft-solver-foundation.html . 

After downloading and installing the package, I got only three dlls and I dont have a clue how to use them with Microsofts Solver Foundation and I cant find any examples of it.

I would really appreciate if someone could point me some examples how to use Xpress with Microsoft Solver Foundation.

Thanks

First, copy the files into the Solver Foundation plugins directory, typically

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Solver Foundation\3.0.1.10599\Plugins

Then you will need to create a .Net configuration file that registers Xpress as a solver. If you check out the Solver Foundation blog at blogs.msdn.com/solverfoundation you should be able to find examples.

To register Xpress for the MSF Excel plug-in, see:

The Xpress interface to MSF is no longer supported. For information on the Xpress .NET interface and Mosel modeling environment please contact your local sales office or see the main Xpress page here:
