MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Add-Ins / August 2005OnConnection doesn't fire
Hi, I have developed an Outlook Add-in in VS.NET 2003 for Outlook XP. I use the Office PIA - and everything works just fine on my development machine. When I deploy the solution builded with VS.NET on a Windows XP machine, where I have also installed Office PIA (maybe that was the reason for my issue). However, OnConnection don't fire. How do I know. Well - I have a MSGBOX in the beginning of the OnConnection - and call EXIT SUB immediately after that! LoadBehavior get set to 2 after - so something did happen. I have checked for DLL dependency - and didn't find any issues. The key is in the registry /HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Office/Outlook/Addins/<xyz>.Connect and this key is defined correctly, as well as the associated GUID. How do I find out what the issue is? How do I test it? Tx Morten One likely cause is that on the 2nd machine, some other process is starting Outlook without UI -- maybe a PDA sync tool, for example. However, the fact that LoadBehavior is being set to 2 indicates that an unhandled error may be occurring.

The other machine is a basic Windows XP machine with Office XP - no additional software, PDA, sync tools etc (or at least not to my knowledge. Installed the machine last week - std WinXP, std Office XP, service packs etc- no other software). How can I figure out what the problem might be? Tx Morten The problem might be related to a version mismatch of mscorlib.dll. When clicking on adodb.dll in the dependency in VS.NET 2003 installer, mscorlib.dll is marked as YELLOW - and the version is 1.0.3300.0 - not 1.0.5000.0 - the difference between .NET FW 1.0 and 1.1. I'm not an expert in these matters - advice would be appreciated. Tx Morten Obviously others have the same problem --> http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.outlook.program_addins/browse_th read/thread/7fb7d72364bb0398/837ffcd11b8421cb?q=mscorlib.dll&rnum=2#837ffcd11b84 21cb Have tried to remove the office.dll - does anyone have a list of the exact DLL's one need? Tx Morten Finally got it working. Using the Office PIA isn't easy. When adding "Microsoft Outlook 10.0 Object Library" as described http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnout2k2/html/o dc_oladdinvbnet.asp VS.NET also adds "office". The reference to this office was wrong. Therefore my add-in didn't load. To make it work I therefore added a reference to "office.dll" found in C:\Windows\Microsoft.net\Framework\v1.1.4322\office.dll BEFORE I added the reference to "Microsoft Outlook 10.0 Object Library" - then it worked.

Does it actually have anything to do with the dependencies of the Extensibililty.dll file? Could it be the machine I'm trying to install on? I've installed the dotnetfx file and the O2003PIA file as well, is there something that I'm not doing? I need this to start working very quickly, any and all help is appreciated.
