EzYuzu VS office-ribbonx-editor

I like to use Yuzu in a portable installation and EZyuzu has been pretty simple to use for that. I lot of the features you have implemented look really good though, and have me interested in trying it out.

It's nice that there are a bunch of different tools out there, my EzYuzu for one.

As title, I've found two of the auto updaters from our community, which is YuzuUpdater (both windows and linux). Another one is EzYuzu, windows only.

https://github.com/amakvana/EzYuzu Can also downgrade if update doesn't work for you. Can switch between mainline and EA versions as well.

Alternatively you can use a program like https://github.com/amakvana/EzYuzu to do it. Just run and point to your yuzu folder, can override to install different versions of mainline or EA. New installations are portable-all-in one folder.

Use a utility like https://github.com/amakvana/EzYuzu to update or downgrade. You run it and point it to the folder where yuzu is installed, and it (usually) will autodetect if you have mainline or EA version, and then update to the latest. You can also use the menu options to override and select a specific version to be installed (like EA 3603, etc.)

Have you tried the Office Ribbon Editor? It makes the XML portion very easy to manage. There might be a weird issue with the way you're currently doing it causing the xml to be removed from the file.

By using ribbonX (find it here: https://github.com/fernandreu/office-ribbonx-editor) you can create custom toolbars based on XML, however this can be difficult.

And rather than handcoding the RibbonXML, you'll want a copy of the free Office RibbonX Editor: https://github.com/fernandreu/office-ribbonx-editor

However, I've always just used this FOSS editor. It's a standalone editor, no need for admin rights, and best of all makes editing the file for the custom tab super easy along with verifying your xml is formatted correctly for the change.

I create custom tabs using the new fabric custom UI API and office ribbonX editor, which is open source and makes the life so much easier (I believe this may be the tool you're using), if not you should def give it a try. The tool comes in a pre-compiled version that is compressed. No need for admin rights or anything.

I have a workbook with a custom ribbon (added via XML using the Office RibbonX Editor so that the custom ribbon stays with the workbook). In the Ribbon, I have a few checkboxes true/false, that are linked to cells on a worksheet.

Office RibbonX Editor - an opensource alternative to Visual Studio (expressly for the purpose of creating the customUI file needed to create a custom Ribbon, not an IDE). The README has good information, and links to further resources for creating an Add-in.
