Windows Vista addin problem. "Fima Furman" <efimfurman[ at ]gmail.com> 1/30/2007 3:47:55 PM I just discovered that my custom toolbar which works under Outlook 2000-2003 in XP/2000 does not appear under Windows Vista. I would appreciate any pointers.

Re: Windows Vista addin problem. "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 1/30/2007 4:42:44 PM Did you check that you set the required registry entries? If your addin installs itself in HKLM/HKCR instead of HKCU, the registration will fail if the current user does not have suffiient rights (as is the case with the UAC enabled in Vista) Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool "Fima Furman" <efimfurman[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:1170172075.856916.250100[ at ]q2g2000cwa.googlegroups.com...

Re: Windows Vista addin problem. "Fima Furman" <efimfurman[ at ]gmail.com> 1/30/2007 4:57:21 PM Dmitry, here's an example of my registry settings for a MSProject addon which has the same problem. I am testing in administrator account: HKCR { XXAddOn.XXProjectAddOn.1 = s 'XXProjectAddOn Class' { CLSID = s '{xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}' } XXAddOn.XXProjectAddOn = s 'XXProjectAddOn Class' { CLSID = s '{xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}' CurVer = s 'XXAddOn.XXProjectAddOn.1' } NoRemove CLSID { ForceRemove {xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx} = s 'XXProjectAddOn Class' { ProgID = s 'XXAddOn.XXProjectAddOn.1' VersionIndependentProgID = s 'XXAddOn.XXProjectAddOn' ForceRemove 'Programmable' InprocServer32 = s '%MODULE%' { val ThreadingModel = s 'Apartment' } 'TypeLib' = s '{xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}' } } } HKCU { Software { Microsoft { Office { 'MS Project' { Addins { 'XXAddOn.XXProjectAddOn' { val FriendlyName = s 'MyCompany MS Project Addin' val Description = s 'ATLCOM Project Addin' val LXXdBehavior = d '00000003' val CommandLineSafe = d '00000000' } } } } } } } Thanks for your reply, Fima.

Re: Windows Vista addin problem. "Fima Furman" <efimfurman[ at ]gmail.com> 1/30/2007 8:06:23 PM Dmitry, I tried this in both cases the Dll registers successfully, however the Toolbar does not appear in Outlook/Project under Vista. I guess my only option is to try to install development environment and debug this in Vista. If anybody has any clues, I would really appreciate any input. Many thanks, Fima.

Re: Windows Vista addin problem. "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 1/30/2007 9:03:45 PM Which means Outlook could not load the add-in. How about the other registry entries?

This worked. Interestingly enought, I created a C# VSTO addon for Outlook and it fails exactly the same way changing the LoadBehavior and this only happens under Vista!

Re: Windows Vista addin problem.

Re: Windows Vista addin problem. "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 2/3/2007 3:53:55 PM Are you saying it still does not run even after the add-in was registered successfully? That means something else is going on in your add-in, you really need to debug it under Vista.

Re: Windows Vista addin problem. "Fima Furman" <efimfurman[ at ]gmail.com> 2/3/2007 4:25:17 PM Dmitry, I finally debugged it under Vista, and indeed the problem was related to the fact that the Addin dll was creating some CFiles in the installation directory. I suppose Vista does not allow this and hence the add-on was crashing. Sorry to take your time debugging this and thanks for all your help. I now need to figure how how to modify the behavior so that the files are created successfully.

Re: Windows Vista addin problem. "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 2/3/2007 9:32:49 PM It is never a good idea to do anything but read files from the Program Files directory. You need to use either user or app data folders in Documents and Settings folder.
