Outlook "not a valid Office Add-in" error
John 4/23/2006 7:40:01 PM
I just set up a new laptop transfering my MS Office 2003 settings from the
old LT to the new using Office2003 wizard. Everything seemed to work, but I
am getting the following error:

'C:\Documents and Settings\RMJ\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns\C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Geography\mpoai9.dll' is not a valid
Office Add-in.

I do have MapPoint 2001 installed, but there is no directory or file w/ path
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Geography\mpoai9.dll and
nothing in C:\Documents and Settings\RMJ\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns.

I did find reg data items like the above of most of the office registry key
entires like:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\MapPoint.OfficeAddin.9.

Should I just delete all of these?

The only thing you have to remove is the registry entry you mentioned. That
will stop the error message from showing up.
