MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Add-Ins / August 2006Outlook Addin Installation using Team Edition
Hello, I have built and tested an Addin on my local machine... works great. I went to run the installer on my bosses computer - worked great too! Went to look at the Addin on his computer - it had failed to load (as verified in the COM-Addins dialog in Outlook) Looked on the web for why - Looks like security - find the article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/odc_vsto2005_t a/html/OfficeVSTOWindowsInstallerWalkthrough.asp Followed it to a T - except for the part where they indicate the pre-requisites (They were not listed for some reason) Downloaded the prequisites and they still would not show up in the list. Even the most basic Addin will not load. Can someone supply a ZIP with a working Addin with Installer so that I might copy their results? How do I debug security issues in Outlook other than the ambiguous "Not Loaded" message? I gotta get this baby out the door! Thanks! Good luck, Christian! Had the same problem for two months now but no solution in sight. I can't help wondering if there may be a prerequsite that is not on the list?! Because I can only get the add-in to load on pc's with VS 2005 installed. -Peter  SignatureC -> C++ -> C# (sigh of relief) > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > I gotta get this baby out the door! Thanks! 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. > Good luck, Christian! > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > > > I gotta get this baby out the door! Thanks! Those are some of the reasons that many of us still use VB 6 for most or all of our COM addins. I only use .NET for book examples because the publishers like that or if the client won't consider anything but a .NET addin.
