VSTO Add-In Deployment Paulem0071 10/10/2008 2:16:06 PM I am using VSTO 3.x with for use with an Outlook 2007 Add-In. I cannot figure out how to deploy the stupid thing. I have tried Publish. The installation runs, but get a "Not Loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in" error. I also tried creating a setup project, but have been unsuccessful there as well as my DLL refuses to load. Is there a proven reference document for deployment somewhere? The docs I have found do not help. Thanks!

RE: VSTO Add-In Deployment Paulem0071 10/10/2008 3:12:01 PM Figured it out. Did not select the Office Primary Interop Assemblies as a Prerequisite. You DO need them, even if Office2007 is already installled on the target. "Paulem0071" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I am using VSTO 3.x with for use with an Outlook 2007 Add-In.

Re: VSTO Add-In Deployment "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 10/10/2008 3:58:24 PM You need them as prereq's yes. If Framework is installed prior to installation of Office 2007 they should be installed automatically unless a custom installation prevents installation of the PIA's but best practice is to always check for the prereq's and install them if they're not there. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
