For anyone reading this... I got it to work. I and my boss are not happy at
all.
Here is the scoop.
My problem was prerequisites and CAS.
In the example, I hacked the code... In the SetSecurity project I changed
the outer group permissions from "Nothing" to "FullTrust" - that got my
plugin loading.... then, when it ran functions, they would not run because I
needed VSTOR and PIA... the installer had no idea how to include these so I
used Mads Prerequisite fix and bang, there they were...
So now, for our tiny little Outlook addin that was supposed to be
downloadable by people in a short time, we now have a huge beast of around
36MB - the addin in about 100K.
Today - I am re-writing in VB6 and deploying with NSIS. These past 3 weeks
have been great! Sorry to seem them go (to waste)!
I still like .NET, but somehow this code bloat needs to get put onto a CD or
something.
