Shared Office Add-in
"Code_Hound" <p.hartness[ at ]option.com> 1/31/2006 3:50:47 PM
First I appologise if this is not the correct newsgroup for this post. I
would be happy to post it elsewhere if someone would like to point me to the
write one.

I have written a managed COM addin for Microsoft Outlook written in C#. My
problem is I believe an installation one. Even though the project created
by Visual Studio creates an installation program it often fails to work or
should I say appears to work but the addin fails to launch.

I know this because I have written logging instructions to be wrtten to the
event log. These events are written during the :

OnConnection

OnDisconnection

OnStartupComplete

OnBeginShutdown

event fired by the Add-in.

I have given the installation instructions to our installer team based on
the contents of the installation program eg. registry settings and the
results are the same. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

Can anyone help?

Regards

Paul

The thing I have done in this case is to create a shim in order to load
your application.
