MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Add-Ins / May 2008outlook addin setup
We are using VS.NET setup project to create add-in setup project for outlook add-in created in VSTO outlook 2007 c#. we added a strong key to project . Setup project created successfully. and deployed without any issue. however when we restarted outlook , our add-in doesnot loaded. we checked tools->trust center-> add-in. option in menu bar of outlook. there is no entry for our add-in. we searched register for entry for our add-in . but there is no entry for our register. is there any steps we need to follow for setip project created in VSTO. If there is no registry entry for Outlook at HKCU\Software\Office\Outlook\Addins\ for your addin or in the equivalent HKLM registry entry then that's the problem right there. Your addin must be registered for Outlook to find and start it. Did you follow the steps in the deployment walkthrough where it tells how to set up the registry? You need values under your addin entry for LoadBehavior, CommandLineSafe, Description and FriendlyName.

Hello Ken, Thanks For Reply. we are able to create a setup project using VS.net project setup type. we have create another class library project for caspol ( giving full permission to access).In setup project we are putting a .net DLL into GAC using "Add sepcial folder" option. This DLL is beign used inside out addin project. we have a COM dll used by .NET DLL which need to register at client machine. we add File for setup project and changed property of it as Register value to vsdraCOM however it is not registered inside register. we have gone through number of tutorials for registering a com dll into client machine via setup project, however we are not able to do same inside add-in. eg http://blogs.msdn.com/omars/archive/2004/04/28/122321.aspx our setup project work fine if we register COm DLL using command line regsvr32 path of COMDLL. Please suggest some solution if there is any fix. > If there is no registry entry for Outlook at > HKCU\Software\Office\Outlook\Addins\ for your addin or in the equivalent [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > our register. > > is there any steps we need to follow for setip project created in VSTO. Have you tried creating a custom action that calls a script that runs regsvr32 on that dll?

Hello Ken, we didn't tried for script file to register com dll. Acutally we are not able to find a way to add acript file and give the full path of com dll for regsvr32 command. > Have you tried creating a custom action that calls a script that runs > regsvr32 on that dll?

Well, if that dll needs registration you will have to find a way to provide the path to a script to register it, or get it to be self-registering, or write code in your application to check for registration of the dll in the registry and if it's not there then call out to a script or shell command to register it, or find some other way. Or you can use to use LoadLibrary and call into the dll without registration.
