MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Add-Ins / September 2005Add in not loaded in outlook.
Hi all, I have written one outlook add-in in VC++. I am facing very strange problem. My add in is getting listed in COMAddin group of outlook (tools->options->advanced options->Comaddins.) But the check box is not checked. even if i checked that check box my add in is not getting loaded. I am registering my addin under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Load behaviour is 3. I can create instance of my .dll file through Oleview. I can't understand why this happens. Please help. Thanks and regards Vinayakc It sounds like your addin might be disabled. If you are using it on Outlook 2002 or 2003 select Help, About Microsoft Outlook, Disabled Items. See if it's listed there. If it is you can re-enable it by clicking the Enable button and exiting and restarting Outlook. Then you just have to figure out why it's being disabled.

Ken, My add-in is not desabled by MS outlook. Even if it is not listed. I can't understant what is the cause behind that. Thanks & Regards Vinayakc The only reason I know of for a COM addin not to stay checked is if it is disabled by Outlook or it crashes when run.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Thanks & Regards > Vinayakc Hi Ken, The problem was with the installshield setup. I am registering addin dll through component wizard. But it was not registering my dll correctly in HKCR. So I made the dll self register property True and now it is working. The only thing i still can not understand why setup is creating entries in HKLM. I do not specify HKLM anywhere in my registration code. Regards Vinayakc Hi, I use InstallShield with no problems. I set up the DLL for the addin (I use a VB 6 designer) and mark the DLL for "extract COM information". I then usually set up the HKCU registry key with the properties I want in the Registry section of the InstallShield project file.
